Please see Atlanta Publishing House LLC Retraction and Correction Policies Statement (https://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/pages/view/retraction_correction). The text of the present article plagiarizes part of text that had already appeared in [Polyhedral skeletal electron pair theory, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopaedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyhedral_skeletal_electron_pair_theory]. We tried to contact the authors regarding this matter, however, we did not receive any response from the authors. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is that authors declare explicitly that their work is original and has not appeared in a publication elsewhere. Re-use of any data should be appropriately cited and with permission where applied. Apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process. It is with considerable regret that we have to make this announcement of scientific fraud as it impinges upon everyone’s integrity and the good name of science in general. References [1].
