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

Cu-TCPP IC-MOF is the best-performing material in this IC-MOF series for volatile sulphur compound detection.

Caveat: Best within the tested materials and conditions, not a universal ranking across all possible IC-MOFs.

main p.2 · Introduction · Linked to 5 structured results

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The high selectivity arises from strong analyte-film interactions and comes at the cost of reusability because the response is irreversible.

Caveat: Authors argue disposability is acceptable due to facile preparation and low cost.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

The organic ligand affects irreversible response; stable structure and larger pore size are proposed to favour binding of mobile metal ions and VSC detection.

Caveat: Pore-size/functionality relationship is inferred from a small ligand set, and pore-size measurement method is not specified in the SI table.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

H2S detection forms CuS through strong interaction with Cu2+, reducing mobile ion concentration and capacitance.

Caveat: Mechanism is supported by post-detection XPS and solubility-product arguments; no operando measurement is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

In IC-MOF sensors, surplus/mobile metal cations act as main ionic charge carriers, enabling capacitive chemical sensing under AC voltage.

Caveat: The paper does not report direct ionic conductivity values; mechanism is inferred from device behaviour and residual metal salt discussion.
