RETRACTED ARTICLE: Zero-/two-dimensional coordination complexes based on the substituted imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ligands: structural diversity and antitumor activity on human myocardial aneurysm cells

Abstract

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

Jiapeng Liu, Na Zhuo, Qingliang Chen, Jiange Han, Haiyun Wang & Bin Hou. Zero-/two-dimensional coordination complexes based on the substituted imidazo[1,2- a]pyridine ligands: structural diversity and antitumor activity on human myocardial aneurysm cells, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, 2020, VOL. 50, NO. 10, 977–982, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2020.1731538.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
