This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief. Please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). REASON: Considerable concern was raised about the research purportedly conducted at Sri Venkateswara University, India with the alleged involvement of Prof. P. Chiranjeevi. Questions were raised as to the volume of publications, the actual capacity (equipment, orientation and chemicals) of the laboratory in which Prof. Chiranjeevi worked, the validity of certain of the research data identified in the articles, the fact that a number of papers appear to have been plagiarized from other previously published papers, and some aspects of authorship. Professor Chiranjeevi was given the opportunity to respond to these allegations. Thereafter, a committee was constituted by the University to look into these allegations. Based on the enquiry committee report, we have been informed by the head of the Department of Chemistry at Sri Venkateswara University that the university authorities have taken disciplinary action against Prof. Chiranjeevi, as the university considers that there are grounds for such action. Therefore, based on the results of this investigation, the Editor is retracting this article.
应主编要求，本文已被撤回。请参阅爱思唯尔关于文章撤回的政策（http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy）。原因：对于据称在印度斯里文卡特斯瓦拉大学开展的、据称有P. 奇拉吉维教授参与的研究，人们提出了诸多关切。有人对论文发表数量、奇拉吉维教授工作的实验室的实际能力（设备、方向和化学品）、文章中某些研究数据的有效性、多篇论文似乎抄袭了其他已发表论文的事实以及作者身份的某些方面提出了质疑。奇拉吉维教授有机会对这些指控作出回应。此后，该大学成立了一个委员会来调查这些指控。根据调查委员会的报告，斯里文卡特斯瓦拉大学化学系主任告知我们，大学当局已对奇拉吉维教授采取了纪律处分措施，因为大学认为有理由采取此类行动。因此，基于此次调查结果，编辑决定撤回本文。
