Abstract

Correction for ‘Labelling of N-hydroxysuccinimide-modified rhodamine B on cellulose nanofibrils by the amidation reaction’ by Julien R. G. Navarro et al., RSC Adv., 2014, 4, 60757–60761.


The authors regret an error in the chemical structure of cellulose in Scheme 1. The corrected Scheme 1 is shown below:

Scheme 1 Fluorescent labeling of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) with rhodamine B. (A) Surface modification of the CNF with a terminal amine function; (B) activation of rhodamine B through the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester; and (C) fluorescent labeling of the amine-modified CNF by the activated rhodamine B via the production of an amide bond.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
