RETRACTED ARTICLE: Crystal structure and anti-liver cancer activity of two Zn(II) coordination polymers based on N-donor and O-donor co-ligands

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal of Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry have retracted the following article: Xu-Rong Liu, Yi Zhou & Haiyan Li (2020) Crystal structure and anti-liver cancer activity of two Zn(II) coordination polymers based on N-donor and O-donor co-ligands, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, 50:3, 162–169, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2019.1696363 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 The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
