Abstract
Retraction of ‘Design and synthesis of a highly sensitive “Turn-On” fluorescent organic nanoprobe for iron(III) detection and imaging’ by Cuiping Han et al., J. Mater. Chem. C, 2014, 2, 9077–9082, https://doi.org/10.1039/C4TC01759E.
The Royal Society of Chemistry, with the agreement of the authors, hereby wholly retracts this Journal of Materials Chemistry C article due to concerns with the reliability of the data. The bright field image in Fig. 5A, fluorescence image in Fig. 5B and the overlay image presented in Fig. 5C contain repeating elements. Analysis of the raw images provided by the authors shows that the published images are comprised of several non-contiguous regions of the original image.
