Abstract

Correction for ‘PEG-nanotube liquid crystals as templates for construction of surfactant-free gold nanorods’ by Naohiro Kameta et al., Chem. Commun., 2018, 54, 4665–4668.


The authors regret that an incorrect image was included in Fig. 1(b) of the original article and in Fig. S6 of the corresponding Electronic Supplementary Information. The correct version of Fig. 1 is presented below, and the ESI file available online has been replaced with an updated version.

Fig. 1 (a) Schematic representation of PEG nanotubes formed by binary self-assembly of 1(n) and 2(n) and subsequent thermal dehydration and rehydration of the exterior PEG chains. (b and c) Photographs of NT-LCs composed of 1(2) and 2(2) obtained without (b) and with (c) a cross polarizer. (d) SEM and (e) TEM images of side-by-side aligned nanotubes in dry-state NT-LCs.
