Abstract

Correction for ‘A supramolecular strategy for tuning the energy level of naphthalenediimide: promoted formation of radical anions with extraordinary stability’ by Qiao Song et al., Chem. Sci., 2015, 6, 3342–3346.


The authors regret the incorrect calculation of LUMO and HOMO values in the manuscript. It should be LUMO = (−4.40 – E1) eV against vacuum.

The LUMO and HOMO values in Fig. 4 should be as following.

Fig. 4 Calculation of the energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO of NDI and NDI/CB[7] (left); LUMO and HOMO energy of NDI and NDI/CB[7] (right).

The corresponding text should also be corrected as “From the calculated LUMO and HOMO energy shown in Fig. 4, the LUMO energy of NDI/CB[7] is 0.47 eV lower than NDI itself, and therefore the LUMO energy level is as low as −4.54 eV.”

Fig. S10 in ESI should be corrected as:

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