Louis of Bourbon, Prince of the Royal Blood of France assisted Frederick II promulgate the thirty-third degree of the Scottish Rite just before his death in May 1786. This may well have been Louis de Bourbon-Conde, Count of Clermont and Abbe of St Germain des Pres, who was Grand Master of French Masonry and died in 1771. ° However, if the establishment date of May 1786 is correct then the Louis Bourbon in question could have been the Count of Clermont s nephew, Louis Philippe-Joseph d Orleans, Duke of Chartres, Prince of the Royal Blood. He continued as Grand Master until his abdication in 1793. ... 

Coincidentally, Rosing, Shishkov, Lieben and Butlerov all left Paris virtually simultaneously, in May and June 1858. Couper lasted only a couple more months in Paris.

For a long time the first OP (its toxicity was described later) was considered to be TEPP, which was synthesized by Clermont (1854-1855). Philippe de Clermont was a well-known chemist in Sorbonna. Charles Adolph Wurtz dedicated his work to the synthesis of esters of pyrophosphoric acid. These data were specified by Petroianu (2008), and thus he contributed to the discovery that the first synthesis of this OP—TEPP— was performed by Vladimir Moshnin of...
