Correction: On-surface synthesis of organometallic nanorings linked by unconventional intermediates of the Ullmann reaction

TL;DR

This paper corrects a previously published study on the synthesis of organometallic nanorings using unconventional Ullmann reaction intermediates.

Contribution

The correction addresses errors or omissions in the original study's findings or methodology.

Findings

The original study's claims about the on-surface synthesis of nanorings are revised.

Unconventional intermediates in the Ullmann reaction were central to the synthesis process.

The correction provides updated data or interpretations for accurate scientific understanding.

Abstract

Correction for ‘On-surface synthesis of organometallic nanorings linked by unconventional intermediates of the Ullmann reaction’ by Xiaoyang Zhao et al., Chem. Sci., 2025, 16, 9348–9356, https://doi.org/10.1039/D5SC01269D.

Full text

The authors regret that there was an error in the sentence in lines 6–8 in the left column on page 9352 of the original article.

The text originally read: “A 6-membered nanoring containing two C–Cu–C and four C–Cu–Br–Cu–C bonds is shown in Fig. 2f and g.”

The sentence should read: “A 6-membered nanoring containing four C–Cu–C and two C–Cu–Br–Cu–C bonds is shown in Fig. 2f and g.”

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