Retracted article: Pyrene-hydrazone based chemosensors for Cu2+ and their application in cancer cell imaging

Abstract

We the authors Sellamuthu Anbu, Sankarasekaran Shanmugaraju, Rajendran Ravishankaran, Anjali A. Karande and Partha Sarathi Mukherjee hereby wholly retract this Analyst article. This decision is due to the fact that recently it has been brought to our attention that the work reported has partial overlap with the ongoing research of another group. The overlap of results was not intentional and this Analyst article is being retracted by the authors in order to maintain the accuracy of the scientific record. Signed Sellamuthu Anbu, Sankarasekaran Shanmugaraju, Rajendran Ravishankaran, Anjali A. Karande and Partha Sarathi Mukherjee, Indian Institute of Science, 20th December 2012. This retraction is endorsed by May Copsey, Editor. Retraction published 3rd January 2013.
