Abstract

Retraction of ‘Metal-free green synthesis of aryl amines in magnetized distilled water: experimental aspects and molecular dynamics simulation’ by Mohammad Bakherad et al., Green Chem., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1039/d0gc01329c.


The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this Green Chemistry article due to concerns about the scientific content of the paper. The evidence provided does not support claims made by the authors of the paper regarding the likelihood of the reaction occurring as presented and the existence of magnetised water as described.

The authors’ explanation has been unsatisfactory. The editor is therefore retracting the paper to maintain the validity of the scientific record.

This retraction supersedes the information provided in the Expression of Concern related to this article.

The authors, Mohammad Bakherad, Zainab Moosavi-Tekyeh, Amin Rezaeifard, Rahele Doosti, Nasrin Mehmandoost, Naser Goudarzi and Sima Omara, have not responded to our Retraction correspondence.
