The authors regret that Fig. 9 and 12(d) of the published article were incorrect. The corrected versions of both affected figures are given below. Please note that the results and conclusions reported in the article are not affected by these errors.

Fig. 9 AFM image obtained for the xerogel of compound 4a (a); XRD profile depicting the intensity against the 2θ obtained for the crystalline phase of compound 4a in xerogel state (inset shows the XRD image pattern obtained) (b); SEM images obtained for compound 4a (c); an expanded region of the image in c (scale bar is 1 μm) (d).

Fig. 12 Angular frequency (rad s⁻¹) dependence of G′ and G′′ obtained with small stress amplitudes: (a) 0.9 wt% of compound 4a in dodecane at 25 °C using 0.2 kPa stress; (b) 0.6 wt% of compound 7a in dodecane at 25 °C using 0.2 kPa stress; (c) 0.5 wt% of compound 7b in dodecane at 25 °C using 0.2 kPa stress; stress dependence of G′ and G′′ of the same gels measured at constant frequency (at 25 °C, and frequency at 0.1 Hz) for compound 4a (d); compound 7a (e) and compound 7b (f).

 

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