The new noble metal, known in Europe only since the mid-18th century, had resisted all prior efforts by experimenters to transform consistently the crude alluvial ore into a chemically pure, malleable metal. Bar platinum was a product of the chemical and metallurgical researches of the English natural philosopher William Hyde Wollaston, who had spent much of the previous 5 years developing and improving a satisfactory production process. The details of his chemical and tech-... 

In most cases, for the assignment and discovery of a substance we have indicated the chemical name in English naturally this is not possible with the excipients , which are composed of several components from partly very different chemical classes.
