We illustrate this fact by considering the case of Palatini f(R) gravities in five dimensions. Our results provide an alternative avenue to explore new domains of the AdS/CFT correspondence without resorting to ad hoc quasitopological constructions. %R 10.1103/PhysRevD.90.044011 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1405.0208 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.90.044011 %P 044011-8pp
