Author Correction: Band gap closure, incommensurability and molecular dissociation of dense chlorine

The original version of this Article omitted references to previous experimental reports on solid hydrogen that are relevant for a full understanding of the context of the previous work. The added references are: 47. Akahama, Y. et al. Evidence from x-ray diffraction of orientational ordering in phase III of solid hydrogen at pressures up to 183 GPa. Phys. Rev. B 82, 060101 (2010). 48. Zha, C.-S., Liu, Z. & Hemley, R. J. Synchrotron infrared measurements of dense hydrogen to 360 GPa. Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 146402 (2012). 49. Dias, R. & Silvera, I.
