Abstract

Correction for ‘Essential role of hydride ion in ruthenium-based ammonia synthesis catalysts’ by Masaaki Kitano et al., Chem. Sci., 2016, 7, 4036-4043.


The authors regret that in the original article incorrect units were used to define both the number of surface Ru atoms (Ns) and the ammonia synthesis rate (rNH3) in columns 6 and 7 of Table 1. In both cases, ‘μmol’ should have been used instead of ‘mmol’. Therefore, the correct units for Ns and rNH3 are ‘μmol g−1’ and ‘μmol g−1 h−1’ respectively.

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