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

Pristine ZZU-1 and ZZU-2 pellets act as impedance sensors for formic acid vapour generated from aqueous formic acid at 25 deg C, with selectivity over common VOC interferents.

Caveat: Several response magnitudes are figure-read estimates; detection limits and linear ranges are text-reported.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

ZZU-1 and ZZU-2 retain framework integrity after water, boiling-water, acid/base, impedance, humidity-cycling and formic-acid sensing tests.

Caveat: Most post-test structural evidence is qualitative PXRD/SEM matching rather than refined post-test structures.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Water molecules and uncoordinated imidazole N atoms form hydrogen-bonding networks that promote water-assisted proton conduction in ZZU-1 and ZZU-2.

Caveat: Detailed crystallographic data for ZZU-2 are referenced from prior work rather than tabulated here.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

At 98% RH, ZZU-1 is near a mixed mechanism at 25-70 deg C and vehicle-like above 70 deg C, while ZZU-2 changes from Grotthuss at 25-70 deg C to vehicle at 80-100 deg C.

Caveat: Mechanism assignment is inferred by the authors from activation-energy thresholds.
