Happy New Year!.

Great job @heui_beom, Nick, and the @rdavbritt and MTG crews!.Happy holidays

Check out our latest collaborative efforts with the @rdavbritt and MTGreen labs to investigate dioxygen activation by a trinuclear iron compound. Great job HB, Nick and team!.

Start your week off with a little manganese. @rdavbritt.

Here Sarah, Chang and George report a new family of diiron hydroxylases that function on diterpenoids found throughout the biosphere. (?/?).

Just in time for the holidays (3/?)

. maybe something that works on this stuff (2/?).

We should discover an enzyme that organic chemists care about. @SarpongGroup @MaimoneGroup (1/?).

We've got something for everyone here: bioinformatics, enzymology, crystallography, spectroscopy, and of course, manganese. Great work Chang, Magan, and Guodong! @rdavbritt

The second chapter of our Chromium chemistry can be read here: An exceedingly rare example of a 4-electron oxidative addition. Great job Paul!.

@rdavbritt @magan_powell

Our next exploration into reactive phosphinimide transition metal complexes is a mononuclear Cr(II) complex capable of multielectron reductions of a variety of small molecules. Check it out here! @ChuckCWinslow.

(4/4) We report here the first Mn-dependent hydroxylase known in biology. Lots of really fun crystallography and spectroscopy in there. More Mn enzymes will follow. But for now:. Well done, Magan Powell.

(3/4) The absence of natural manganese-dependent hydroxylases implies that this metal ion is either not competent to activate C-H bonds, or that such enzymes have eluded discovery. @borovik_lab @Goldberg_Lab.

(1/4) “Though an essential trace element, manganese is generally accorded little importance in biology other than as a cofactor for some free radical detoxifying enzymes and in the photosynthetic photosystem II.” -David Kehres.

Our SuperOx-citing paper is out in JACS today. Fantastic job Chuck, HB and Mackenzie!

Our tris-phosphinimide ligand platform out now in Inorg Chem.Nice job @heui_beom @ChuckCWinslow and Nick!.
