Author interpretations and caveats

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

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: Medium

A Pt3(C12N6O6)2 MOF-based MEA functions as a PEMFC cathode and reaches 248 mW cm^-2 maximum power density.

Caveat: Application MEA is a composite device, not pristine MOF-only performance.

p. 7 · 3.2 · Fig. S16 · Linked to 3 structured results

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

Pt3(C12N6O6)2 MOF is reported as durable under acidic ORR cycling and 120 h constant-potential testing.

Caveat: Durability is from application electrode conditions, not standalone conductivity after cycling.

p. 6-7 · 3.2 · Fig. 4c; Fig. S5b · Linked to 4 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Pt3(C12N6O6)2 is assigned as a Pt-O4 square-planar, pi-pi stacked 2D nanosheet MOF with Pt2+ centres.

Caveat: EXAFS fit supports Pt-O coordination; no CIF/local crystallographic file was assigned.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

DFT/CHE modelling assigns Pt sites in Pt-X4 units as more favourable ORR active sites than pyridinic N sites for the O-rich and mixed N/O Pt-MOFs.

Caveat: DFT results are model-system calculations; figure/table values include reported limiting potentials and selected SI intermediate-energy summaries.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Pt3(C12N6O6)2 with Pt-O4 active sites gives the best acidic ORR performance among the three Pt-MOFs.

Caveat: Mass-activity values in the text are not consistent with a simple best-performance ranking.

p. 6 · 3.2 · Fig. 4 · Linked to 5 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

The good conductivity of the Pt-MOFs is attributed to electron delocalisation among Pt-X4 units, benzene units and conjugated pyrazine.

Caveat: Transport is measured on pressed pellets; mechanistic support is computational/qualitative.
