Abstract
Retraction of ‘An immobilised Co(II) and Ni(II) Schiff base magnetic nanocatalyst via a click reaction: a greener approach for alcohol oxidation’ by Pooja B. Bhat et al., New J. Chem., 2015, 39, 4933–4938, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/C5NJ00218D.
The Royal Society of Chemistry hereby wholly retracts this New Journal of Chemistry article due to concerns with the reliability of the data. The images in the article, and the raw data provided by the authors, were reviewed by an expert in the field. There are duplicated PXRD patterns in Fig. 2 (lines b and c) and three panels in Fig. 3 show SEM images of the same sample (panels a, b, and d). The raw characterisation data provided by the authors was not consistent with the published data. Given the significance of the concerns about the validity of both the data in the article and the raw data provided by the authors, the findings presented in this paper are not reliable.
The authors, Pooja B. Bhat and Badekai Ramachandra Bhat, do not agree with the retraction.
