Retracted Article: Neomycin and gentamicin detection via molecular recognition with cyclam-decorated gold nanoparticles

We, the Editor and Publisher of the journal Supramolecular Chemistry, have retracted the following article:

Tanuja Yeluri, Rajesh S. Bhosale, Namdev V. Ghule, Aaron M. Raynor, Sidhanath V. Bhosale & Sheshanath V. Bhosale (2015) Neomycin and gentamic in detection via molecular recognition with cyclam-decorated gold nanoparticles, Supramolecular Chemistry, 27:11-12, 772-779, DOI: 10.1080/10610278.2015.1071819

Since publication, significant concerns have been raised about the integrity of data and figures in the article.

When approached for an explanation, the corresponding author did not provide the requested supporting information. RMIT University, where research had been conducted, confirm they are investigating issues related to the integrity of the published work. As verifying the validity of published work is core to the integrity of the scholarly record, we are therefore retracting the article. The institution and the corresponding author have been informed.

We have been informed in our decision-making by our policy on publishing ethics and integrity and the COPE guidelines on retractions. The retracted articles will remain online to maintain the scholarly record, but they will be digitally watermarked on each page as ‘Retracted’.
