RETRACTED ARTICLE: Two Cu(II) and Co(II) coordination polymers: crystal structures and treatment activity on human ovarian cancer cells

Abstract

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

Yun-Han Zhang, Shan-Shan He, Sheng-Yan Xie, Peng-Lai Wei, Su-Zhen Wang & Ge-Hong Liao Two Cu(II) and Co(II) coordination polymers: crystal structures and treatment activity on human ovarian cancer cells, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry. 2021; volume 51:2, 188-194, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2020.1769669

Since publication, concerns have been raised about the integrity of the data in the article. When approached for an explanation, the authors have been unable to address the concerns raised and have not been able to provide sufficient 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. The authors do not agree with the retraction.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
