Abstract
Correction for ‘Microwave facile preparation of highly active and dispersed SBA-12 supported metal nanoparticles’ by Juan Manuel Campelo et al., Green Chem., 2008, 10, 853–858, https://doi.org/10.1039/B801754A.
The authors regret an error in Fig. 4, where the TEM image in the bottom right, originally labelled as ‘Au nanoparticles on SBA-12’, was mistakenly taken from another paper in preparation at the same time, ref. 1 below. The authors have resynthesized Au-SBA-12 and this showed identical characteristics to the originally synthesized and reported materials, and have produced the replacement images below, with a histogram showing a high reproducibility of the protocol, which does not change any conclusions of the work.

In addition, the sentence “Au nanoparticles were found to be well dispersed and homogeneously distributed with very small size and reasonably narrow particle size distribution (ca. 1.9 nm)” should be corrected to “Au nanoparticles were found to be well dispersed and homogeneously distributed with small size and reasonably narrow particle size distribution (average ca. 8.09 nm)”.
An independent expert has viewed the corrected images in Fig. 4 and confirmed that they are consistent with the discussions and conclusions presented.
The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
