In contrast to what was claimed in this communication that there were apparently no examples of silica-supported peroxyacids known in the literature, it has since been brought to the authors' attention that one such peroxyacid has been reported (J. A. Greig, R. D. Hancock and D. C. Sherrington, Eur. Polym. J., 1980, 16, 293). The authors regret that they did not pick up this article during their literature search and truly believe that this earlier inventive work on silica-based peroxyacids should as yet earn an appropriate acknowledgement.
