Despite the prevalence of the Fe(III) oxidation state, its role in C-H functionalization remains underexplored. Our recent study in J. Am. Chem. Soc. demonstrates that Fe(III) unlocks unique reactivity and chemoselectivity enhancement vis-a-vis the Fe(II) analog. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

We're very proud of UCLA alumnus Fred Ramsdell for receiving The The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine — our 17th Nobel Prize for an alum or faculty member, and the third prize in five years for a Bruin. ucla.in/4oaVlKd #NobelPrize

“I can’t imagine accepting the prize without them.” In this interview shortly after the prize announcement, new physics laureate John Clarke is still stunned by the news. He praises his co-laureates John Martinis and Michel Devoret, who he worked together with at a lab in
