The author wishes to amend errors in content and formatting in the original article to correct potentially misleading statements. The following alterations should be made to the original article:

Page 86542, Table 1: On the ‘Keggin cage’ line, ‘rD’ should be changed to ‘ρD’.

Page 86544, Fig. 2 caption: In the G(x) equation, below the summation symbol ∑, the lower limit of the summation ‘i = x + 1’ is incorrect, and should be amended to ‘i = 1’.

Page 86545, Table 2: In the row below the ‘N-dimensional species’ line, in the p column, ‘a(n − 1)’ should be ‘α(n − 1)’. Specifically, the italicised letter ‘a’ should be revised to an italicised Greek letter alpha.

Page 86548, Section 2.6.7.3: In the second paragraph, third sentence, in the subscript following ‘(OH)’ in the formula, ‘(x − 1)2’ should be ‘(x − 1)²’.

Page 86549, Table 3: In the row below the ‘Penrose in 3-d’ line, in the q column, 3ρII should be 3ρI.

Page 86550, Section 2.6.7.5: In the sentence beginning ‘Summing squares’, in the equation, ‘(2/3)x − 1)’ should be ‘(2/3)(x − 1)’.

Page 86554, Section 2.6.8.7: In the binomial expansion, within the second pair of square brackets, the first two components of the first term should be bracketed together; so that ‘Φ_n+1² + Φ_n²’ becomes ‘(Φ_n+1² + Φ_n²)’. The corrected binomial expansion is presented below:

Page 86557, Section 3: In the paragraph beginning ‘Or dimer could react’, 9H₂O should be 13H₂O.

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