RETRACTED ARTICLE: Synthesis and crystal structure of a new Zn(II) complex with anti-leukemia activity

Abstract

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

Shang-Liang Chen, Xiao-Yan Liu, Shao-Chang Li, Chaoyu Wu, Zhi-Yi Li & Ting-Ting Li (2021) Synthesis and crystal structure of a new Zn(II) complex with anti-leukemia activity, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, 51:2, 224–229, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2020.1783312

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 authors have agreed to retract the article.

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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
