Correction for ‘Quantifying transient interactions between amide groups and the guanidinium cation’ by V. Balos et al., Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2015, 17, 28539–28543.
The number of NMA molecules interacting with the different cations obtained from fitting eqn (3) to the data shown in Fig. 3 are nLiCl = (2.8 ± 0.4) and nMgCl2 = (2.6 ± 0.7). The featureless, nearly linear decrease in cNMA,free upon addition of NaCl does not allow for determination of nNaCl independent of K (nNaCl = (16 ± 15)).
The association constants assuming n = 2 are reduced accordingly to K = 0.13 L2 mol−2 (Mg2+), 0.13 L2 mol−2 (Li+), and 0.04 L2 mol−2 (Na+).
As the erroneous calculation only affected Shyd and for solutions of GdmCl Shyd = 0, our results for GdmCl are not altered. Thus, our main conclusions and the reported association constants between GdmCl and amide are not affected, except that the interaction of GdmCl with amides is not similar to NaCl, but intermediate between NaCl and LiCl.
