Abstract
Correction for ‘A planar pentacoordinate oxygen in the experimentally observed [Be5O6]2− dianion’ by Rui Sun et al., Chem. Sci., 2025, https://doi.org/10.1039/d5sc02361k.
The authors regret that the use of the phrase “electrospray ionization” was incorrect in two instances in their published articles. The affected sentences are:
“The [Be5O6]2− dianion, first produced in 2006 via electrospray ionization and initially proposed by a concurrent computational study to adopt a linear O–Be alternating structure, stands as a rare experimentally observed SMCA.”
And
“Notably, a literature survey revealed that the corresponding [Be5O6]2− dianion was generated in 2006 via electrospray ionization,37 but a concurrent computational study38 incorrectly proposed a linear O–Be-alternating structure (0 in Fig. 1).”
The phrase “electrospray ionization” is hereby corrected to “simultaneous metal sputtering and O2 flooding”. The sentences above are corrected to:
“The [Be5O6]2− dianion, first produced in 2006 via simultaneous metal sputtering and O2 flooding and initially proposed by a concurrent computational study to adopt a linear O–Be alternating structure, stands as a rare experimentally observed SMCA.”

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