Abstract
Retraction of ‘Intracellular fluorescent thermometry and photothermal-triggered drug release developed from gold nanoclusters and doxorubicin dual-loaded liposomes’ by Rijun Gui et al., Chem. Commun., 2014, 50, 1546–1548, DOI: 10.1039/C3CC47981A.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Chemical Communications article due to concerns with the reliability of the data in the published article.
The TEM image in Fig S2a duplicates data in other publications, but reported as different materials.1–5
The TEM image in Fig S3a duplicates data in other publications, but representing different materials.2,6
Given the number and significance of the concerns about the validity of the data, the findings presented in this paper are no longer reliable.
Rijun Gui opposes the retraction. The other authors were contacted but did not respond.
