Abstract

Correction for ‘Chemistry of aromatic polythioesters and polydithioesters’ by Daisuke Abe, et al., Polym. Chem., 2015, 6, 3131–3142.


The authors regret the wrong arrangement of the trans fractions derived from MO calculations for the S–CH2 bond in Table 1 of the original paper. The corrected version of Table 1 is as shown below.
