Electron And Ion Insertion Processes During CyclingAuthor-proposed

Battery redox pathways

The review interprets battery charge storage as a diagnostic probe of pristine chemical states, with cation/anion insertion and metal valence changes distinguished conceptually.

p012 · The structural identification based on the variation of chemical states in batteries · Figure 3

Organic Ligand Donor Atoms And Redox ChemistryAuthor-proposed

Chelating-group families

The review organises CCP chemical states primarily by donor atom class, because the acidity, electronegativity and redox behaviour of N, O and S linkers drive different counterion, radical and metal-valence outcomes.

Categories: M-(NH)4 units from diamine ligands · M-O4 units from diol/catecholate ligands · M-S4 units from dithiol ligands · mixed M-X2Y2 chelating groups

p002 · Introduction

Material families

Review-defined families retain their representative materials and conduction descriptions.

HHTP-based layered and 3D catecholate frameworks

2D Layered And 3D Frameworks

HHTP-derived frameworks where layer stacking, mixed catecholate/semiquinonate states and sometimes lanthanide-based 3D architectures determine transport pathways.

Conduction: Layer packing and short interlayer distances can create effective 1D or 2D charge-transport pathways.

Representative materials: Co-HHTP · Ni-HHTP · Cu-HHTP · Ln-HHTP frameworks

Nodes / linkers: Co2+ · Ni2+ · Cu2+ · Ln3+ · hexahydroxytriphenylene

p011 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity

Hexaamino/hexaimino 2D conductive MOFs

2D Layered Honeycomb Frameworks

Honeycomb 2D CCPs based on high-symmetry hexaaminobenzene or hexaiminotriphenylene-type ligands.

Conduction: The review treats these as archetypal 2D pi-d conjugated frameworks where in-plane delocalisation and interlayer stacking both matter.

Representative materials: Ni3(HITP)2 · Cu3(HITP)2 · Co3(HAB)2 · Ni3(HIB)2

Nodes / linkers: Ni · Cu · Co · hexaaminotriphenylene · hexaaminobenzene · hexaiminobenzene

p010 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity

M-(NH)4 nitrogen-chelated CCPs

1D And 2D Frameworks Depending On Ligand Geometry And Coordination Topology

CCPs built from deprotonated amino/imine ligands such as BTA, HAB and HATP coordinated to transition-metal centres.

Conduction: Strong covalent metal-imino bonding and pi-d conjugation support electron delocalisation; mixed valence can modify transport and redox behaviour.

Representative materials: Ni-BTA · Co3(hexaaminobenzene)2 · Ni3(HITP)2 · Cu3(HITP)2

Nodes / linkers: Ni2+ · Co2+ · Cu1+/Cu2+ · Fe2+ · Mn2+ · benzenetetramine · hexaaminobenzene · hexaaminotriphenylene

M-S4 dithiolene CCPs

1D And 2D Networks, Including Kagome-Like Lattices

Sulfur-chelated CCPs from dithiol or tetrathiooxalate-type ligands coordinated to transition metals.

Conduction: The larger, less electronegative S atom favours electron delocalisation, easier deprotonation, faster reactions and often higher conductivity, but also more counter-cation complexity.

Representative materials: Ni-TTO · poly(nickel-ethylenetetrathiolate) · Cu-BHT · Ag5(C6S6)n · Pd bis(dithiolene) nanosheet

Nodes / linkers: Ni2+ · Pt2+ · Zn2+ · Co2+/3+ · Fe2+/3+ · Pd2+/3+ · Cu1+ · Ag · o-phenylenedithiol · ethenetetrathiolate · hexathiolbenzene · tetrathiooxalate

Synthesis strategies

Review-level synthesis principles remain separate from primary-study recipes.

Atmosphere and oxidant control

Use air, inert atmosphere, vacuum or explicit oxidants to control ligand oxidation and metal valence during CCP formation.

Claimed effects: For Cu-HHB/Cu-THQ systems, inert conditions favour Cu1+ and counter cations, whereas air oxidation can shift products toward dominant state A.

Controlling variables: air exposure · inert gas shielding · oxidant availability · reactant Cu2+ stoichiometry · ligand precursor oxidation state

Representative materials: Cu-HHB · Cu-THQ

Caveat: Atmosphere effects are system-specific because oxygen, ligand and Cu2+ can all act as oxidants.

p010 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity

Base and coordinating additive selection

Choose bases or ligands that both deprotonate linkers and tune metal-ligand/base competition to moderate growth and improve crystallinity.

Claimed effects: Ethylenediamine slowed Cu-HHB nucleation by chelating Cu(II); weaker sodium acetate improved crystallinity of Ni3(HITP)2 and Cu3(HITP)2.

Controlling variables: base strength · base coordination ability · NH4OH replacement · ethylenediamine · sodium acetate

Representative materials: Cu-HHB · Cu3(HHTP)(THQ) · Ni3(HITP)2 · Cu3(HITP)2

Caveat: Improved crystallinity does not by itself prove a unique chemical state; counterions and oxidation state still need characterisation.

p010 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity

Mixed chelating groups and mixed metal ions

Combine different donor groups or metal centres to tune energy alignment, orbital overlap, conductivity and electrochemical behaviour.

Claimed effects: The review treats these designs as promising for property tuning while noting unresolved questions about bond order and radical localisation.

Controlling variables: M-X2Y2 linker design · binary metal ratio · metal frontier orbitals · ligand frontier orbitals · post-synthetic linker exchange

Representative materials: bis(aminothiolato)nickel nanosheets · M3(hexaiminotriphenylene)2 alloys · dual-ligand porous coordination polymers

Caveat: For mixed chelating groups, the review explicitly says it remains unclear which bonds are preferentially double bonds and where radicals locate.

p008 · The reported chemical states of M-S4 unit

Slow reaction to improve coordination precision

Slow down simultaneous deprotonation, oxidation and coordination so metal ions bind desired sites and form more crystalline ideal structures.

Claimed effects: For Ni-BTA, slower reaction produced regular crystals, higher crystallinity, higher thermal stability, higher conductivity and better electrochemical profiles than fast reaction.

Controlling variables: reaction temperature · mixing speed · solvent exchange · diffusion method · nucleation rate

Representative materials: Ni-BTA · Ni-TTO

Caveat: The review presents this as a secondary synthesis principle; individual recipes and quantitative conditions must be checked in the cited primary papers.

p009 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity · Table 1

Higher-quality structural specimens

Pursue high-quality crystals, single crystals or better-aligned films to reduce dependence on PXRD refinement and topological inference.

Claimed effects: Better crystalline products would clarify stacking, molecular arrangement and structure-property relationships for conductivity and electrochemical performance.

Controlling variables: crystallinity · crystal size · film alignment · synthetic control · advanced characterisation

Representative materials: single-crystal 2D conductive MOFs · COF analogues · HHTP frameworks

Caveat: The review states that most CCP packing models still rely on PXRD, HRTEM, EXAFS and topology rather than single-crystal CCP data.

Review claims

These are the review authors’ synthesis, not newly measured results.

Author InterpretationMedium supportMeasurement Interpretation

Electrochemical redox behaviour in batteries is presented as a feedback method for identifying pristine CCP chemical states, because valence and bond-character changes occur during cycling.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review also states that fundamental evidence for chemical-state variation in batteries remains inadequate.

p012 · The structural identification based on the variation of chemical states in batteries

Author InterpretationHigh supportDefinition Scope

The review defines CCPs as covalently assembled planar organic ligand and transition-metal-node frameworks with extended pi-d conjugation and highly delocalised pi electrons.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review notes that some of these materials are also described as conductive MOFs in other literature.

p002 · Chemical structures and states of CCPs

Consensus SummaryHigh supportTransport Mechanism

Hybridisation between ligand pi orbitals and transition-metal d orbitals is presented as the key mechanism that delocalises electrons and enhances conductivity and charged/discharged-state stability.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review does not resolve all conductivity mechanisms for every framework; packing and defects remain important.

p002 · Introduction

Author InterpretationMedium supportStructure Property Link

The authors argue that an ideal CCP state is coplanar, electroneutral, divalent-metal based, semiquinonate-like, radical-containing and counterion-free, with delocalisation through the whole polymer.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review explicitly says real products may differ from ideal structures and special cases exist.

p005 · The ideal chemical states of CCPs · Figure 3

Author InterpretationMedium supportMaterial Comparison

For M-(NH)4 CCPs, amino ligands are described as deprotonated and partially oxidised to radical semiquinonates, forming electroneutral MII(ISQ)2-like units for Ni and related systems.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: Cu-(NH)4 systems are treated as exceptions where Cu1+/Cu2+ mixed states may coexist.

p006 · The reported chemical states of M-(NH)4 unit

Author InterpretationMedium supportMaterial Comparison

For M-O4 frameworks, catecholate, semiquinonate and hydroquinone-like ligand states can coexist, and Cu systems can show coupled metal/ligand mixed charge states.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: Specific state distributions are synthesis- and atmosphere-dependent.

p007 · The reported chemical states of M-O4 unit

Author InterpretationMedium supportMaterial Comparison

For M-S4 CCPs, sulfur promotes delocalisation and conductivity but often yields counter-cation-containing mixtures of electroneutral and charged states.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review distinguishes stable divalent nodes from metals susceptible to partial oxidation.

p007 · The reported chemical states of M-S4 unit

Consensus SummaryHigh supportApplication Relevance

CCPs are framed as promising battery electrodes because they combine redox-active metal and ligand centres, high conductivity, fast ion diffusion, structural flexibility and polymeric insolubility.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The practical electrochemical properties often diverge from theoretical analysis because of imperfect coordination and unclear mechanisms.

p012 · The structural identification based on the variation of chemical states in batteries

Consensus SummaryHigh supportStructure Property Link

The review links molecular arrangement to morphology, electrical conductivity, ion transport and electrochemical performance, but warns that many packing models are not single-crystal-derived.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: Packing assignments are often based on PXRD, HRTEM, EXAFS and topology rather than single-crystal CCP structures.

p010 · The control of synthesis for desired/ideal structures with high crystallinity

Consensus SummaryHigh supportCaveat

Despite promising properties, the review cautions that extraneous counterions, ambiguous structures, limited characterisation and early-stage battery studies restrict reliable structure-property generalisation.

Evidence basis: review_reasoning

Caveat: Useful as review-level framing rather than as a primary finding.

p016 · Outlook and perspectives

ContestedHigh supportControversy

The review repeatedly states that metal valence, ligand bond order, counterion presence and radical character remain disputed for many CCPs.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: The review's preferred state assignments lean on the authors' prior Ni-BTA and Ni-TTO work, so the stance should be treated as secondary interpretation.

p002 · Introduction

Consensus SummaryHigh supportSynthesis Strategy

Synthesis conditions can dramatically change products, causing diverse coordination structures and chemical states that complicate literature comparisons.

Evidence basis: multi_reference

Caveat: Review-level claim; individual systems require original synthetic context.

Research gaps

Open questions are presented as review-author priorities, not conclusions from the primary database.

Charge-storage mechanisms

High

The review states that high-performance battery use of CCPs is still in infancy and that charge-storage mechanisms need further identification.

Proposed direction: Combine electrochemical studies, synthetic control, theoretical calculations and operando/ex situ characterisation to connect mechanism with structure.

p016 · Outlook and perspectives

Counterion and impurity origins

High

Extraneous counterions and species are often introduced during CCP synthesis, making it difficult to define chemical states and distinguish impurities from framework charge balance.

Proposed direction: Optimise synthesis based on deeper chemical insight to realise precise coordination and reduce counterions.

p016 · Outlook and perspectives

Systematic ligand/metal design space

Medium

The review calls for a CCP gene pool to understand how donor functional groups and metal ions affect structures, arrangements and properties.

Proposed direction: Systematically vary -NH2, -OH, -SH, -SeH groups and metal centres to map energy alignment, orbital overlap and structure-property trends.

p016 · Outlook and perspectives

Mixed chelating-group electronic structure

Medium

For mixed-chelating M-X2Y2 materials, it remains unclear which C-X or C-Y bonds become preferentially double bonds and where radicals are localised.

Proposed direction: Use combined spectroscopy, theory and controlled synthesis to resolve bond order and radical location in mixed-donor frameworks.

p016-p017 · Outlook and perspectives

Evidence for oxidised coordination-unit storage

Medium

The review says oxidation of coordination units with anion insertion lacks vigorous evidence, even though such processes are theoretically possible.

Proposed direction: Acquire direct evidence for charged-state structures, counterions and ligand oxidation during high-voltage cycling.

p014 · The structural identification based on the variation of chemical states in batteries

Direct structural evidence

High

Many packing and chemical-state models rely on PXRD refinement, HRTEM, EXAFS and topological combination rather than single-crystal CCP evidence.

Proposed direction: Develop synthetic control and single-crystal studies that can provide stronger evidence for chemical-state assignments.
