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

Different alcohols and butanol/propanol isomers can be distinguished by their unique fitted capacitance-response slopes.

Caveat: Selectivity is demonstrated for tested analytes and volumes in the reported chamber geometry, not for complex real-world vapour mixtures beyond ethanol/vodka demonstrations.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The Co-TCPP IC-MOF sensor shows rapid ethanol response and stable response after ambient storage.

Caveat: Stability is reported for response to 1 uL ethanol after 60 days; broader operational lifetime is not reported.

Application RelevanceSupport assessment: High

The sensor can detect methanol adulteration in ethanol and 75-degree vodka, with approximately 1% LOD for methanol in vodka.

Caveat: Demonstrated on prepared mixtures under the paper's vapour sensing setup.

Structure Property LinkSupport assessment: Medium

Alcohol polarity and steric hindrance are proposed to control response magnitude by affecting interactions with and directional motion of mobile metal ions.

Caveat: Mechanistic interpretation is inferred from response trends and control data; no direct binding or diffusion measurement is reported.

Transport MechanismSupport assessment: High

Mobile Co2+ ions act as the charge carriers in Co-TCPP IC-MOFs and enable the capacitance response to alcohol vapours.

Caveat: The paper reports capacitive/ionic behaviour but does not provide a standalone ionic conductivity value.
