Abstract

Expression of Concern for ‘Convenient conversion of hazardous nitrobenzene derivatives to aniline analogues by Ag nanoparticles, stabilized on a naturally magnetic pumice/chitosan substrate’ by Reza Taheri-Ledari et al., RSC Adv., 2020, 10, 43670–43681, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1039/D0RA08376C.


The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the EDX data in Fig. 2b. An investigation is underway, and an Expression of Concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
