Tribute to Jim Emsley

I was first grateful to Jim about 55 years ago being an owner and reader of two volumes of Emsley, Feeney and Sutcliffe. It was a great help when Cambridge Chemistry had a Varian XL100 installed in 1972. So it was a great pleasure to become a colleague of Jim's in Southampton a few years later. Jim was always engaging, informative and encouraging. I even had a paper with him on structure of a platinum complex in a liquid crystal, with Jim very much the leading author. My best wishes to Jim's family and friends all of whom will be aware that he has given much inspiration to so many people.
