Correction: Lopresti, M. et al. The Crystal Structure of Calcium Sebacate by X-ray Powder Diffraction Data. Crystals 2023, 13, 261

In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Equation (1) as published. Because of the use of an old formula that was not updated in the final LaTeX version, for a reader who is not a crystallographer or a scientist, the formula in the present version of Equation (1) does not correctly clarify how calcium is coordinated with sebacate molecules. The new formula provided here can help one better understand the chemical process without misleading the reader. The corrected version of Equation (1) appears below.

(1)${\mathrm{Na}}_2\left({\mathrm{C}}_{10}{\mathrm{H}}_{16}{\mathrm{O}}_4\right)+{\mathrm{CaCl}}_2+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\to \mathrm{Ca}\left({\mathrm{C}}_{10}{\mathrm{H}}_{16}{\mathrm{O}}_4\right)·{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+2\mathrm{NaCl}$

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
