Abstract

Correction for ‘Metal ion binding properties of a bimodal triazolyl-functionalized calix[4]arene on a multi-array microcantilever system. Synthesis, fluorescence and DFT computation studies’ by Abdullah N. Alodhayb et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 4387–4396.


The authors regret that the structure of the synthesised calix[4]arene (2) was drawn incorrectly in Fig. 2 of the original article. A corrected version of Fig. 2, in which the –OAc groups have been replaced by –Ac groups, is presented below.

Fig. 2 A schematic representation of a microcantilever array consisting of 8 cantilevers. Each cantilever can be individually functionalized. Inset: the chemical structure of calix[4]arene 2 along with the site of the binding of the target cation (Hg2+).

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