Frankland, Sir Edward

Frankland, Sir Edward (1825—1899). A British chemist noted for research on organic-metallic compds, valency, water supply and the theory of flames.

Zinc alkyls have been known to chemical science since the mid-nineteenth century and were among the first organometallic compounds produced and characterized. Sir Edward Frankland, an English chemist and pioneer in organometallic chemistry, synthesized diethylzinc (DEZ) from zinc metal and ethyl iodide (3). Remarkably, more than century and a half after its discovery, diethylzinc remains today an important industrial metal alkyl. Though quantities are substantially smaller than those of aluminum alkyls, diethylzinc has several niche applications in polyethylene processes. 

Advancement of Science. French scientist Louis Pasteur founds the science of stereochemistry (the study of the spatial arrangement of atoms in molecules and the effect of these arrangements on chemical properties). Scottish physician Sir James Simpson first uses chloroform as an anesthetic during experiments. English chemist Sir Edward Frankland and German chemist Adolph Kolbe discover ethane. Scottish physicist William Thomson, later Baron Kelvin, formulates the concept of absolute zero.

Probably the most distinguished assembly of chemists in the history of science (8) could be found at the First International Chemical Congress which was held in Karsruhe in the Kingdom of Baden in 1860. Aside from Kekule, Liebig, Wohler, Bunsen and von Baeyer, there were also present Jean Baptiste Dumas, Hermann Kopp, Adolph Kolbe, Sir Edward Frankland, Dmitri Mendeleev, Friedrich Beilstein, Lothar Meyer and Charles Friedel, all of them "academically related." It was at this meeting that Stanislao Cannizzaro, a young Italian chemist who was working in Sardinia, and a former assistant of Michel Chevreul in Paris, burst in an...
