Abstract
Correction for ‘Synthesis, crystal structures, and in vitro anticancer properties of new N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) silver(I)- and gold(I)/(III)-complexes: a rare example of silver(I)–NHC complex involved in redox transmetallation’ by Rosenani A. Haque et al., RSC Adv., 2016, 6, 60407–60421.
The authors regret that the counterion for silver complex 6 discussed throughout the original article and its supplementary information was incorrectly identified. The molecular formula of complex 6 is ‘C35H39AgN4O4’, rather than ‘C37H35N5AgBr’.
Because a catalytic amount of sodium bicarbonate was used in the preparation of complex 6, the bromide ion was replaced by bicarbonate through salt metathesis. Therefore, the counterion of complex 6 should be ‘bicarbonate’ instead of ‘bromide’ throughout the original article. The original identification of bromide as the counterion resulted from the use of an incorrect crystal structure data file.
The authors would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused and emphasize that these changes do not influence the main conclusions of the article. The supplementary crystal structure data file for the original article has been updated to show the correct information.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
