Introducing The New Co-Editor Of Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms

Abstract

Professor Peter Moore has accepted appointment as co-editor of Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms, effective from this first issue of Volume 3. Peter Moore is a B.Sc. and Ph.D. graduate of the University of Sheffield, where his doctoral research was supervised by R. G. Wilkins. Following his doctoral studies, he moved in the mid-1960s to a postdoctoral research post with F. Basolo and R. G. Pearson. In terms of a pedigree in inorganic reaction mechanisms, one couldn't ask for a better one! He returned from the USA to the UK and an academic position at the University of Warwick, where he now holds a personal chair in chemistry. Peter was formerly Secretary and Chairman of the Royal Society of Chemistry Inorganic Mechanisms Group, and a founder member and Chairman of the RSC Macrocycles and Supramolecular Chemistry Group, and (jointly with the late Bob Hay) the Coordination Chemistry Discussion Groups. He is currently Chairman of the latter group. He is author of more than 150 papers in learned society journals. Peter brings a depth and breadth of apposite knowledge and experience to the tasks of co-editor that will surely strengthen the journal as it enters the new century. It is fitting that Peter Moore has participated along with our foundation co-editor, the late Robert W. Hay, in expanding the footprint of inorganic chemistry. This is a linkage that provides continuity for the journal. Indeed, this issue commences with a further group of papers dedicated to our late co-editor, and in particular with a contribution co-authored by our new coeditor. I am looking forward to working with Peter on developing Inorganic Reaction Mechanisms further.
