"WE'VE ARRANGED A society based on science and technology, in which nobody understands anything about science technology. And this combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces. Who is running the science and technology in a democracy if the people don't know anything about it?" "Science is more than a body of knowledge, it's a way of thinking. A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we're up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along."

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Dedicated to Peter Chen, my inspiring PhD advisor, on the occasion of his retirement

Generation and Reactivity of a High-Spin Iron(IV)-Oxo Complex That Is Stable at Ambient Temperatures Nature operates a variety of challenging oxidation reactions through intermediates bearing tetravalent iron centers bound to a terminal oxo ligand. The high-spin (S = 2) electronic configuration is believed to be particularly important in C–H activation reactions mediated by iron(IV)-oxo species. Coordination environments that promote high-spin ground states obviate the need for spin-state crossing to access this state and can promote rapid oxidation reactivity. As a result, however, synthetic iron(IV)-oxo species with S = 2 ground states tend to exhibit poor thermal stabilities, which has hampered a broader elucidation of their reactivity profiles. In this work, we report the synthesis of a remarkably stable high-spin iron(IV)-oxo complex that localizes the Fe═O unit within a rigid organic macrocycle. This design results in essentially unlimited stability at ambient temperatures and a half-life of 21 h at 70 °C in CH3CN, endowing this compound with the highest thermal stability for a high-spin FeIV═O complex reported to date. The ligand’s steric profile shuts down intermolecular reactivity with potential O atom acceptors and hydrocarbons bearing weak C–H bonds, but proton-coupled electron transfer reactivity with 2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenol (TTBP) occurs readily at room temperature despite its steric bulk.

Beautiful molecule! Congrats @barnettlabur.bsky.social !
