Back in 2020, soon after I had isolated the Fe-S cluster terminal imido complex, Dan remarked “I wonder what happens if you oxidize it.” Five years later, we finally have the answer: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Nitrogen Subvalency in a Four-Member Redox Series of Iron–Sulfur Cluster Imido Complexes
Imido complexes of high-spin 3d metals can feature N subvalency, wherein configurations with hole character at N contribute significantly to the ground state electronic structure. Reported herein are ...

New UW teaching workloads included in state budget plan, along with pay raises and more
The UW System braced for a state budget cut. Instead, it's poised to get more money than it has in recent years — but the cash comes with some strings.

Every two years, Robin Vos invents a new, bad faith, evidence-free reason to cut the UW budget. First it was too many reserves. Then it was DEI. Now it's "broken process." He serially lies about us & never pays any penalty for it (bsky.app/profile/mcop...). There is nothing we can do to placate him.
