Author interpretations and caveats

Paraphrased for this database from the authors’ stated interpretations — never quoted verbatim — and kept separate from reported measurements.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

O2 can adsorb into/around the framework but does not stabilise the 1e-I state or generate the CO2-induced magnetic/electronic transition.

Caveat: The authors infer only about one equivalent of O2 is in the pores, with additional O2 at surfaces or intercrystal micropores.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

CO2 adsorption changes parent paramagnetic compound 1 into an antiferromagnetic CO2-loaded phase with TN about 62 K, and desorption reverses the transition.

Caveat: Antiferromagnetic phase can be converted to a field-induced ferrimagnet under sufficiently high magnetic field.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

DFT models suggest CO2 does not directly contribute substantially to frontier orbitals, spin density, or exchange; instead, CO2 structurally stabilises the low-valence/electronic state.

Caveat: DFT uses discrete gas-phase models derived from the crystal structure, not periodic electronic transport calculations.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

The CO2-gated sorption and conductivity transitions coincide with a uniform structural phase transition between 1 and 1-CO2, not sample decomposition.

Caveat: Phase boundaries are hysteretic; the authors caution that Clausius-Clapeyron fitting is approximate for this system.

S17 · Structural phase transition induced by CO2 adsorption and CO2 desorption · Figure S11 · Linked to 3 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

CO2 adsorption promotes electron hopping by converting TCNQ(OEt)2 from the 2e-I state to the radical-anion 1e-I state, producing reversible conductivity increases under controlled CO2 pressure.

Caveat: Absolute sigma values are mainly graphical, and the reported device uses a two-probe pellet geometry.
