Correction: Comprehensive investigations on the action of cationic terthiophene and bithiophene as corrosion inhibitors: experimental and theoretical studies

Abstract

Correction for ‘Comprehensive investigations on the action of cationic terthiophene and bithiophene as corrosion inhibitors: experimental and theoretical studies’ by Abdelaziz S. Fouda et al., New J. Chem., 2019, 43, 768–789, https://doi.org/10.1039/C8NJ04330B.

The authors regret that the SEM and EDX images for samples MA-1191, MA-1190 and MA-1112 published in Fig. 11 of the original article were incorrect. The corresponding data in Table 8 were also incorrect. The correct versions of Fig. 11 and Table 8 are shown below.
