Abstract
We, the Editors and Publisher of the Journal of Coordination Chemistry, have retracted the following article:
Mei-Ling Chen, Juan Yan, Zhou Xu & Ling Xu. A Cu(II)-based coordination polymer: treatment activity on hand–foot–mouth disease by inhibiting catecholamines release, Journal of Coordination Chemistry. 2020. Volume 73: issue number 20-22, 3028–3037, DOI: 10.1080/00958972.2020.1827145
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 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The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
