Correction: Dibismuthanes in catalysis: from synthesis and characterization to redox behavior towards oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diols

TL;DR

This paper corrects a previous study on dibismuthanes and their role in catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diols.

Contribution

The paper provides corrections to prior findings on the synthesis and redox behavior of dibismuthanes.

Findings

Errors in the original paper's data on dibismuthane synthesis were identified.

The redox behavior towards oxidative cleavage of 1,2-diols was revised.

Updated characterization data for the compounds was provided.
