RETRACTED ARTICLE: Two novel coordination polymers: protective activity on acute lung injury via inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines in alveolar macrophages

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, have retracted the following article: Jie Ding, Jing Liu, Jia-Nan Xue, Ai-Li Fu, Wei-Jun Yan & An-Kang Lu. Two novel coordination polymers: protective activity on acute lung injury via inhibiting the release of inflammatory cytokines in alveolar macrophages, Inorganic and Nano-Metal Chemistry, VOL. 51, NO. 2, 168–173, DOI: 10.1080/24701556.2020.1769666 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 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 The retracted article will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but it will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
