This article has been retracted:please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal).

This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief of Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering.The study is retracted for the following reasons:

Re-analysis of the reported experimental data,including the mass spectroscopic and elemental analysis suggest the data may be fabricated.In addition,computation,construction of a simple plastic model and a thorough search of the CCDC database indicate the structure given for Complex 1 is not physically possible.B.R.Bhat provided two statements in response to the raised concerns.However,the statements were deemed unsatisfactory by the special re-review committee which had been appointed by the Editor-in-Chief.Thus,the Editor-in-Chief decided to retract the article.
