RETRACTED ARTICLE: Two mixed-ligand Cd(II)-coordination polymers: structural diversity and antitumor activity against human osteogenic sarcoma cells

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal of Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry have retracted the following article:

Feng Han, Shun Cao, Hongwei Ding, Ziwei Chen, Qiang Zhang & Shi-Dong Xu. Two mixed-ligand Cd(II)-coordination polymers: structural diversity and antitumor activity against human osteogenic sarcoma cells, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, 2020, vol 50: issue no 9, 880-887, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2020.1727516

Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data and reported results in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors did not provide their original data or any necessary supporting information. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article.   The corresponding author listed in this publication has been informed.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions.

The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
