15. Mai 2015
Peter Smith (1920-2014), from the Chemistry Department of the University of Michigan, was a member of the Commission on Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry (III.1) from 1979-1991. He was an Associate Member 1979-83, a Titular Member 1983-91, and chair 1987-91. As chair of the Class Names project, he was an author of "Glossary of class names of organic compounds and reactive intermediates based on structure. Recommendations 1995", Pure Appl. Chem., 1995, 67:1307-1375. He served as the book review editor for the Journal of the American Chemical Society and published in two volumes of Open-Chain Organic Nitrogen Compounds (1965-6).
Outside chemistry, his passion was the stamps of Egypt, on which he published a definitive work. Only a few days before his death he attended a stamp show in New York, where he won a prize for his exhibit and received a letter of appreciation from the organisers.
