Paul at ChemBark is doing yeoman's work on the Reto Dorta case, where a rather unfortunate comment was left in the Supporting Information of an Organometallics paper.
- Paul's initial post
- A response from John Gladysz, the editor of Organometallics
- A possible response from Reto Dorta himself, where a ChemBark commenter e-mailed Dr. Dorta
- Paul analyzes the relevant thesis and compares to the paper
Also, I wanted to note See Arr Oh has noted an interesting case of potential plagiarism in Nature Materials, and an odd retraction of a JACS paper.
All of the above are worth your time.
UPDATE: Carmen Drahl and Steven Ritter have the C&EN writeup of the Dorta affair; all the relevant detail in one place, plus some good commentary.

For the record an editorial review of this case has been published.
