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: Medium

The work suggests cation-functionalised Mn2DSBDC as a tunable platform for potential electrocatalytic or photocatalytic applications without hindering charge transport.

Caveat: No electrochemical application performance measurements are reported in this paper.

8 · 4 Conclusions · Linked to 3 structured results

Phase AssignmentSupport assessment: High

Post-synthetic cation exchange with Co2+, Cu2+ or Ni2+ retains the overall Mn2DSBDC crystalline framework, although Co and Cu analogues show reduced pXRD intensity near the maximum tolerated exchange loading.

Caveat: Crystallinity loss is noted as exchange percentage approaches about 10 at%.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Co, Cu and Ni cation exchange decreases the Tauc x-intercept bandgap from 2.43 eV for pristine Mn2DSBDC to 2.34, 2.14 and 2.05 eV, respectively.

Caveat: Bandgaps exclude the weak exchanged-cation absorption in the 500-700 nm range.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: High

Cation exchange contracts the bulk and local coordination structure relative to pristine Mn2DSBDC, with Mn-Mn distances shortened by about 0.1 Å and exchanged-metal M-O/M-S distances at least about 0.1 Å shorter than corresponding Mn distances.

Caveat: EXAFS fits use fixed coordination numbers and report approximately 0.02 Å uncertainty in R.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Cation exchange does not significantly disrupt THz AC conductivity; pristine and ca. 8-10 at% Co/Cu/Ni-exchanged Mn2DSBDC show similar conductivities and no observable temperature dependence from 100 to 300 K.

Caveat: Reported conductivity is spectroscopic AC THz conductivity; authors caution it should not be equated directly with probe-based DC conductivity.

7-8 · 3.3; 4 Conclusions · Fig. 6; Figs. S5-S8 · Linked to 4 structured results

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: Medium

Drude-Smith c parameters near -1 imply that mobile carriers are mainly limited by defects or grain boundaries, giving metal-like temperature-insensitive conductivity.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is model-based and the authors leave charge-pathway alternatives open.
