This article reported the unsuccessful attempts to make stable salts of CH₂I⁺. As noted in the abstract: "All particles were also calculated at the MP2/TZVPP level to predict the vibrational and electronic spectra", calculations of CH₂I⁺ and related molecules were reported. However recent studies which reported the first gas phase spectra of this ion [J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2006, 128, 9320; J. Phys. Chem. A, 2007, 111, 10562] and gave detailed information on the electronic and vibrational spectra were omitted.

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