Correction: Main group metal polymerisation catalysts

Abstract

Correction for ‘Main group metal polymerisation catalysts’ by Eszter Fazekas et al., Chem. Soc. Rev., 2022, 51, 8793–8814, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2CS00048B.

The authors regret that there were some errors concerning references in the original article. On page 8803, right column, first paragraph, which is the last paragraph of the “Homometallic ROP catalysts based on p-block metals” section, the text states “The first indium-phosphasalen complexes displaying good performance for rac-LA polymerisations were reported by Williams and co-workers (24a–24b, Fig. 10).⁵⁹” Later in the same paragraph, the text reads “Mehrkhodavandi and co-workers subsequently introduced a series of enantiopure and racemic dinuclear indium complexes (25a–25c, Fig. 10) that were active for LA ROP with good control (Đ = 1.04–1.26).⁶⁰” This statement is incorrect, as ref. 60 was published 5 years before ref. 59. The authors would also like to mention an additional reference to clarify that the first indium complex was reported for lactide polymerisation in 2008 (shown below as ref. 1), and prior to the first indium-phosphasalen complex.

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