Congratulations Asa, Emma, Peter, and Julia!

The final chapter of Asa's thesis is now in print in JACS, thanks to great supporting efforts from current graduate student Emma and former undergraduates Peter and Julia. This work builds on a previous publication (Chem. Commun. 202157, 516–519) and deals with secondary-sphere effects in dioxygen reduction catalyzed by molecular cobalt complexes. The project was brought over the finish line thanks to our excellent collaborators from Prof. Hannah S. Shafaat's lab at the Ohio State University. Congratulations all!
