Platt also wrote a really nice theory paper about organic dyes that will feature soon because Seth Olsen has a paper about to appear in Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation which gives a rigorous quantum chemical basis for Platt's theory.
I was wondering what happened to Platt and found an interesting 1992 Obituary in the New York Times.
I also found that Platt was on a panel discussion with Michael Polanyi about the interplay of reductionism and emergence in biology, physics, and chemistry.
