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

The Cu3(HHTP)2/DNA hydrogel POCT method provides dual colourimetric and temperature detection of T-2 toxin over 5-200 ng/mL with a 1.67 ng/mL LOD.

Caveat: Application performance is for the full hydrogel reaction system, not pristine Cu3(HHTP)2 alone. SI Table S2 separately reports a 12.83 ng/mL colourimetric LOD, while the main text reports a 1.67 ng/mL overall method LOD.

CaveatSupport assessment: High

Although the material is described as a conductive MOF, this paper does not report direct electrical conductivity, thermoelectric, porosity or electrochemical measurements for Cu3(HHTP)2.

Caveat: The assigned article reports structure, optical/photothermal, peroxidase-like catalytic and sensing data only.

2 · Introduction

Composite RoleSupport assessment: High

The DNA hydrogel acts as a target-responsive carrier that hides and then releases Cu3(HHTP)2 active sites in the presence of T-2 toxin.

Caveat: The mechanism is supported by gel electrophoresis and response tests, but the hydrogel structure is not deeply structurally characterised.

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

The reported XRD peaks and TEM morphology support successful synthesis of Cu3(HHTP)2.

Caveat: No CIF or Rietveld refinement is supplied in the assigned files.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Cu3(HHTP)2 exhibits peroxidase-like catalytic activity for TMB/H2O2 oxidation.

Caveat: Main text and SI Table S1 report inconsistent Km/Vm values for Cu3(HHTP)2; both source-specific sets are retained and labelled by provenance.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Cu3(HHTP)2 shows strong broad optical absorption and efficient photothermal conversion under 808 nm irradiation.

Caveat: Endpoint temperatures from Fig. 2A concentration series are visual estimates, but the conversion efficiency is text/SI-table reported.
