Correction to “An Investigation of (Diacetoxyiodo)arenes as Precursors for Preparing No-carrier-added [¹⁸F]Fluoroarenes from Cyclotron-Produced [¹⁸F]Fluoride ion”

The wrong Hammett σ_p value and yield value for the p-CN substituent was used to construct Figure 5. The correct values are 0.66 for the σ_p value and 54% for yield. When the correct values are used, the Gaussian fit of the data shows a substantially lower correlation (r² = 0.56) relative to the published erroneous value (r² = 0.87). Figure 5 should appear as shown below.

Figure 5.

The radiochemical yields of [¹⁸F]p-fluoroarenes show a bell-shaped relationship to Hammett σ_p values. The line represents a Gaussian fit of the data and r the correlation coefficient.
