Casey R. Wade The author presented on this page has published his first article as a submitting corresponding author in Angewandte Chemie: “Direct NO Reduction by a Biomimetic Iron(II) Pyrazolate MOF”: Z. Cai, W. Tao, C. E. Moore, S. Zhang, C. R. Wade, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2021, 60, doi.org/10.1002/anie.202108095; Angew. Chem. 2021, 133, doi.org/10.1002/ange.202108095. Position: Assistant Professor of Chemistry, The Ohio State University (USA) Homepage: https://u.osu.edu/wadelab ORCID: orcid.org/0000-0002-7044-9749 Education: 2006 B.S. in Chemistry, University of Nebraska–Lincoln (USA) 2011 Ph.D. with François Gabbaï, Texas A&M University (USA) 2011–2013 Postdoc with Mircea Dincă, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA) Research: metal–organic frameworks, organometallics, catalysis, gas separation Hobbies: fishing, cooking, American football, bourbon The biggest challenge facing scientists is public perception. We need to get out there and let everyone know about the exciting things we are doing! Chemistry is fun because it allows you to use your imagination to solve problems and create something tangible. It's like cooking without licking the spatula! The most exciting thing about my research is making a new molecule or material that no one has ever reported. I advise my students to make the science engines run. The best advice I have ever been given is don't send an email to someone who is just down the hall. Stimulating discussions with colleagues and students never happen via email. I lose track of time when I get to work in the lab. Just ask my wife! (Better yet, don't …) A good day at work starts with a new crystal structure or clean NMR spectrum. I can never resist good Texas BBQ. What I appreciate most about my friends is their upside down sense of humor. The most important quality of a mentor is patience and empathy. My favorite thing about my lab group is their infectious enthusiasm for science. My favorite reaction is the dissolution of gold metal in aqua regia. My favorite name theorem is Bercaw's Law of Initial Optimization. It holds true all too often … My favorite drink is Weller 12 Wheated Bourbon. My favorite song/piece of music is Pearl Snaps by Jason Boland and the Stragglers. Behind the Science References 1This project was led by an outstanding postdoc in my lab, Dr. Zhongzheng (Amy) Cai. She discovered the new MOF serendipitously, and as soon as we determined the structure, we knew we had stumbled onto something interesting. Our initial characterization and reactivity studies turned into a collaborative project after conversations with my colleague, Prof. Shiyu Zhang, who is an expert in NO chemistry. After a multitude of carefully planned experiments, COVID-related delays, Zoom meetings, and a new γ-ray source for our Mössbauer spectrometer, we're excited to share this work with the scientific community.
