December 9, 2013 | A version of this story appeared in Volume 91, Issue 49

Brian M. Hoffman, the Charles E. & Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, has been named the winner of the F. A. Cotton Medal, sponsored by the ACS Texas A&M Section and the Texas A&M University department of chemistry.

Hoffman was cited for his many ­contributions to the development and application of electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy for ­elucidating mechanisms of catalysis by ­metalloenzymes.

The Cotton Medal, which consists of a gold medal and a bronze replica and is accompanied by a certificate, is named for the late F. Albert Cotton, the former W. T. Doherty-Welch Foundation Distinguished Professor of Chemistry at Texas A&M.
