Correction to “High-Contrast On/Off Fluorescence Switching via Reversible E−Z Isomerization of Diphenylstilbene Containing the α‑Cyanostilbenic Moiety” Jong Won Chung, Seong-Jun Yoon, Byeong-Kwan An, and Soo Young Park J. Phys. Chem. C 2013, 117 (21), 11285−11291. DOI: 10.1021/jp401440s

he following errors were found in the published article. These were incorrect IUPAC names of chemical structure. The trans-isomer named (E)-2,3-bis(4′-methylbiphenyl-4-yl)acrylonitrile, (E)-CN-MBE, or E-isomer in the article and Supporting Information is incorrect. It should be changed to (Z)-2,3-bis(4′-methylbiphenyl-4-yl)-acrylonitrile, (Z)-CNMBE, or Z-isomer for the trans-isomer. In contrast, the cisisomer should be named (E)-2,3-bis(4′-methylbiphenyl-4-yl)acrylonitrile, (E)-CN-MBE, or E-isomer.
In the above schematic image, at the left-hand end of the double bond, it turns out that the carbon of the phenyl group has higher priority than hydrogen, and on the right-hand end, it turns out that carbon of the cyano group has a higher priority than carbon of the phenyl group. This means that the two higher priority groups are on the same sides of the double bond, and so this is the (Z)-isomer. In contrast, the two groups with the higher priorities are on opposite sides of the double bond, so this is the (E)-isomer. This correction applies to the corresponding names in the main text and all figures in the article and Supporting Information. However, the error does not affect the scientific result of the main article. The authors apologize for any confusion caused by this error.
