Abstract

Correction for ‘Nano copper(I) oxide/zinc oxide catalyzed N-arylation of nitrogen-containing heterocycles with aryl halides and arylboronic acids in air’ by Mona Hosseini-Sarvari et al., RSC Adv., 2014, 4, 7321–7329, https://doi.org/10.1039/C3RA46548A.

The authors regret considerable unattributed text, figure and data overlap between their article in RSC Advances and ref. 1. Due to the overlap in the synthesis and characterisation of the Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake, ref. 1 should have been cited in this paper.

Both articles contain some unique data, however, Fig. 1–4 and Table 1 of the RSC Advances article were re-used from ref. 1 without being correctly attributed. Tables 2–7 in this RSC Advances article were not published elsewhere.

The corrected captions are shown below:

Fig. 1 FT-IR spectrum of Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake. Reproduced from ref. 1.

Fig. 2 The XRD pattern of Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake. Reproduced from ref. 1.

Fig. 3 The SEM image of Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake. Reproduced from ref. 1.

Fig. 4 TEM image of Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake. Reproduced from ref. 1.

Table 1 Results of BET surface area measurements for Cu₂O/ZnO nanoflake. Reproduced from ref. 1

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