Abstract
Correction for ‘Selective detection of fluoride using fused quinoline systems: effect of pyrrole’ by Mahesh Akula et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 57231–57234.
The authors would like to correct some errors present in the original article.
In page 57232, in the third paragraph of the right column, the sentence “In cases of ligands 7 and 8, pyrrole NH and hydroxyl were blocked, respectively” should read: “In cases of ligands 8 and 9, pyrrole NH and hydroxyl were blocked, respectively”.
In addition, some of the structures in Table 1 were not displayed correctly (ligands 6, 9 and 13). The corrected Table 1 is shown below.
| Ligand | Structure | Anion selectivitya (red shift with intensity enhancement) |
|---|---|---|
| a Ligands showing selective F− sensing also show AcO− sensing, which can be easily removed by using TBDPS protection of hydroxyl group.b No red shift and no AcO− interference. | ||
