Additions and Corrections Correction to “Acceleration of Laser-Induced Formation of Gold Nanoparticles in a Poly(vinyl alcohol) Film”

Masanori Sakamoto, Takashi Tachikawa, Mamoru Fujitsuka, and Tetsuro Majima* Langmuir 2006, 22, 6361-6366. There were calculation errors in the estimation of concentration of additives (i.e., benzophenone, AuCl4-, and 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate) in the PVA film. Correct concentration values of the additives in the PVA film were 100 times smaller than those in the original version of manuscript. Correct kELT and kq values were 100 times larger than those in the original version of manuscript. The conclusions of the paper are unaffected by the correction.The values in Table 1 should be changed. The correct version is shown in below. Table 1. Electron-Transfer Rate Constants (kELT) in the Dried and Formic Acid-Doped Films (degrees of doping ) 10 ( 2 wt %) Containing BP (0.21 M) and Several Concentrations of AuCl4[AuCl4-] (×10-2 M)
