Iron tris-mesityl: a homoleptic iron(II) ferrate species for directed C–H activation
C–H activation is a vital synthetic tool due to its superior atom economy and improved step efficiency making it amendable to late-stage functionalisation. In recent years iron has been gaining tracti...

(2/2) ..I increasingly encounter faculty that will not support their own students/postdocs in fellowship applications due to perceived competition on science. Maybe I am just getting old but isn't the idea of our jobs to create great scientists that can go on and do even better science than we have?
