The authors of this article wish it to be noted that a reader of this article requested that some papers be added as important references for the syntheses of 9,10-bis(3',5'-diphenylphenyl)anthracene [MAM]¹ and its derivatives.² These two references could be useful for the synthesis of related molecules with an anthracene core and 3,5-diphenylphenyl substituents.

In addition, there was a typing error in the ¹H NMR data in the section entitled ‘Synthesis of TAT’. The corrected data are as follows (amendment indicated in bold type):

¹H-NMR (500 MHz, CDCl₃, δ): 7.98 (d, 4 H, J = 1.33 Hz), 7.96 (d, 4 H, J = 7.96 Hz), 7.87 (s, 2 H), 7.83 (q, 4 H, J = 2.28 Hz), 7.79 (t, 8 H, J = 7.8 Hz), 7.62 (d, 4 H, J = 8.0 Hz), 7.52 (t, 8 H, J = 7.63 Hz), 7.43 (t, 4 H, J = 7.43 Hz), 7.39 (q, 4H, J = 2.52 Hz).

However, the NMR spectrum of TAT (Fig. S6) was displayed correctly in the Electronic Supplementary Information (ESI).
