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: High

At 98% RH and room temperature, MOF 1 gives the highest NH3 response and the lowest detection limit among its tested humidity conditions.

Caveat: The best condition is high humidity (98% RH), which may limit dry-environment deployment.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

MOF 1 shows much larger responses to NH3 and amines than to N2, H2, O2, CO, CO2, benzene, MeOH, n-hexane and toluene under 68-98% RH.

Caveat: Selectivity was tested at 30 ppm and room temperature in the reported chamber.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

MOF 1 retains crystallinity after water, pH and sensing/cycling challenges and shows reusable sensor behaviour.

Caveat: PXRD provides phase retention evidence but not quantitative defect or long-term transport degradation metrics.

CaveatSupport assessment: Medium

The authors note that sodium-ion thermal motion may influence the measured conductivity at higher temperature.

Caveat: The magnitude of sodium-ion contribution was not quantified.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms and free sodium ions in the 1D channels provide proton-transfer pathways that enhance proton conduction and sensing.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is based on structural features and conductivity trends rather than direct proton-transport imaging.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

MOF 1 proton transfer is water-mediated; high humidity increases conductivity by enabling hydrogen-bond networks in the channels.

Caveat: Sodium-ion motion may influence conductivity at increased temperature according to the authors.
