Abstract
Correction for ‘Properties and applications of designable and photo/redox dual responsive surfactants with the new head group 2-arylazo-imidazolium’ by Changxu Lin et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 51552–51561.
The authors wish to amend two statements and a figure in the original article that concern the reference electrode used in the electrochemical studies. The use of a Ag/AgCl reference electrode is reported in the original article. However, the authors actually used a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as the reference electrode and a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the working electrode.
Therefore, in the sub-section entitled Electrochemical properties, the reduction and oxidation peaks are centered at −0.24 V and −0.17 V vs. SCE, respectively. Furthermore, in the Apparatus and procedures sub-section, the text should be amended to read: ‘Electrochemical measurements were performed in a conventional three-electrode system with a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) as the working electrode, a saturated calomel electrode (SCE) as the reference electrode and a Pt wire as the counter electrode.’ The change has also been reflected in a modified Fig. 7, in which the x axis label has been altered accordingly.
