The authors regret the omission of a reference from the original manuscript, which should have been included in addition to ref. 35–41 in the sentence below. This reference is shown below as ref. 1.
“MA serves as a key platform chemical that readily affords a plethora of critical commodity chemicals, including adipic acid, terephthalic acid, ε-caprolactam, and 1,6-hexamethylene diamine, and novel monomers like cyclohex-1-ene-dicarboxylic acid (CH1DA).^35–41^”
