Abstract

Correction for ‘Novel approach to synthesizing polymer-functionalized Fe3O4/SiO2–NH2 via an ultrasound-assisted method for catalytic selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones in a DMSO/water mixture’ by Mahsa Dehghan et al., RSC Adv., 2015, 5, 92335–92343.


The authors regret that the XRD pattern (a) in Fig. 2, which duplicates data presented in Fig. 1 of ref. 1 for Fe3O4@SiO2-FLU NPs, was published in error. A new version of Fig. 2 with the correct XRD pattern for Fe3O4/SiO2/PATL is shown below. The replacement XRD pattern has been reviewed by a subject specialist from our team of associate editors who has found that the overall conclusions and scientific findings in the paper remain valid.
