Retraction notice to “Insight into the theoretical approach to calculate molecular geometries, absorption, and IR spectra of Vat Orange 7” [J. Mol. Struct. 1319, Part 1 (2025) 139526]

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier policy on Article Correction, Retraction and Removal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/policies-and-standards/article-withdrawal).Figure 2: When drawn to scale, experimental and simulated IR spectra do not seem to represent the same molecular system. Furthermore, the peak positions from Figure 2 do not match the data listed in Table 3.Citations [4-17] are completely off-topic.The Mullikan and APT charges in Table 2 are identical.The analysis of the FT-IR spectrum gives frequencies, which are neither present in Figure 2 nor in Table 3 with IR frequencies. In addition, they appear to be similar to the frequencies mentioned in Ref. [48]: V. Balachandran, V. Karunakaran, Spectrochim. Acta. Part A, Mol. Biomol. Spectros., 106 (2013), pp. 284-298. This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors.
