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

Pressed MOF 1 pellets act as high-humidity NH3 impedimetric sensors, with best reported response 243% to 25 ppm NH3 and 1 ppm detection limit at 30 deg C and 98% RH.

Caveat: Application performance is demonstrated on laboratory pellets; no device-to-device statistics are reported.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

The authors state that the sensor research remains at a basic level, despite promising device-fabrication relevance.

Caveat: Author-stated limitation; not a measurement-derived result.

p008 · Conclusion

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

MOF 1 retains crystallinity and framework structure after boiling/immersion in water and after pH 1-11 aqueous treatments.

Caveat: Based on qualitative PXRD pattern matching rather than raw diffraction refinement after treatment.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Proton conductivity increases with increasing RH and temperature, reaching 1.36 x 10^-3 S cm-1 at 100 deg C and 98% RH.

Caveat: Pellet dimensions used for conductivity are not reported in the article or SI text layer.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

H2O and NH3 jointly improve proton transfer by hydrogen-bond networks and NH4+ generation; the mechanism changes from vehicle-like at 75% RH to Grotthuss-like at 98% RH under NH3.

Caveat: Mechanistic assignment is inferred from activation energies, adsorption, PXRD, and dry controls; no direct spectroscopic observation of NH4+ is reported.
