Abstract

Correction for ‘Stable group 8 metal porphyrin mono- and bis(dialkylcarbene) complexes: synthesis, characterization, and catalytic activity’ by Hai-Xu Wang et al., Chem. Sci., 2020, 11, 2243–2259, DOI: 10.1039/C9SC05432D.


In the original manuscript, the Royal Society of Chemistry regrets that an error was introduced in Table 4. On page 2251, a chemical equation is missing in Table 4, with the equation mistakenly moved to the main text on page 2254. The correct format of Table 4 is shown below:
Table 1 Comparison of catalytic performance among 1a, 2a, and other common carbene transfer catalystsa

Entry Catalyst Yield of 5ab (%)
a Conditions: Ph2CN2 (0.2 mmol), styrene (2 mmol), catalyst (0.004 mmol), DCM (1 mL), 40 °C, 12 h, and under Ar. b Yield determined by 1H NMR with PhTMS as the internal standard.
1 1a 90
2 [FeII(TPFPP)] 48
3 2a 92
4 [Rh2(esp)2] 10
5 CuI 1
6 [Ru(TTP)(CO)] 56


On page 2254, the correct text should read:

“However, M[partial double bond, top dashed]Ad complexes (especially the Fe and Ru complexes) are uniquely stable as compared to other examples of Fe/Ru-dialkylcarbene complexes which could undergo a 1,2-hydride/alkyl shift and/or carbene transfer reaction.7e,h,10,19b,20b,50

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