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 pre-print! Flavins are essential cofactors in biology, acting as both one- and two-electron redox cofactors, yet how the protein scaffold tunes redox chemistry has been difficult to discern. Here, we examine how the N5 environment controls flavin potentials. (1/n) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Measurement and Control of Crossed Potentials in a Flavoprotein
Flavoproteins are versatile redox-active biomolecules enabling a multitude of metabolic processes. Their versatility stems from the tunability of the flavin cofactor′s one- and two-electron reduction ...

"New teaching workloads would require instructors to teach at least 24 credits every school year. At UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, where professors are expected to produce more research, the mimimum load would be 12 credits per year."
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.
From Robin Vos's newsletter today. As incoherent as you would expect. Cutting money is not about cutting money; it's about a… [finger to earpiece] um… [spins wheel] broken process!
