In this communication, we wrote “We recently discovered that highly reactive trichlorotriazine (TCT) could react with N-arylimidazoles to form triazinonide-bridged bisimidazolium pincers in good yields under mild conditions.¹⁰” A related paper about interesting triazinol-bridged bisimidazolium pincers was not cited.

The sentence should be revised as follows:

Strassner et. al. and we reported the triazinol-bridged^10a and the triazinonide-bridged^10b bisimidazolium pincers synthesized from N-arylimidazoles with TCT, respectively.

The new reference 10 then should be:

10. (a) For triazinol-bridged pincers, see: A. Poethig and T. Strassner, Organometallics, 2011, 30, 6674; (b) for triazinonide-bridged pincers, see: C. Gao, H. Zhou, S. Wei, Y. Zhao, J. You and G. Gao, Chem. Commun., 2013, 49, 1127.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
