About this collection
Professor Peter Day, who sadly passed away on May 19, 2020 at the age of 81, was a true pioneer in the field of materials chemistry. During his career, he made a substantial contribution to the development of mixed-valence chemistry and molecular electronic materials. In the search for unusual magnetic and electron transport properties, his research centred on the synthesis and characterisation of molecular inorganic and metal-organic solids.
Peter Day has been very involved with the Journal of Materials Chemistry, leading the journal through the millennium as Scientific Advisory Editor. In this tribute to Peter Day, we have collated a number of his publications across the journals Chemical Communications, CrystEngComm, Dalton Transactions, Journal of the Chemical Society A: Inorganic, Physical, Theoretical, Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions 2: Molecular and Chemical Physics, Journal of Materials Chemistry and Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry. The publications span Peter’s entire research career and we hope you enjoy revisiting some of his exceptional work, which even today continue to inspire new research.
