Very proud to see my first last-author paper published! We report dramatic effects of a ligand backbone modification on 3MLCT lifetimes in Cr/Mo/W complexes. Read how we disentangle potential energy well flattening, conformations and self-quenching! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Fresh out in @InorgChem, we examined the electronic structures of p2 ions, one with large spin-orbit (Te) and one with small (Se). The SI works out the calculations in detail. This paper was written by my CHEM 435 students as their final exam! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs… @NUChemistry
