His liberalism made him some enemies but because of his stature they were unable to do him much harm. In 1880 the Imperial Academy of Sciences refused to elect Mendeleev to membership, electing instead Friedrich Beilstein, a German professor at the Imperial Technological Institute. But the University of Moscow soon made him an honorary member, possibly in response to the Imperial Academy s action. Mendeleev seems not to have been bothered by the...

The word thermochemistry initially written as thermo-chemistry is due to Germain Hess and is found for the first time in the title of a report (Recherches thermo-chimiques), written in French, that was presented at the Imperial Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg in 1840 [8] and was subsequently published in their bulletin [9]. In that report, he also established the so-called Hess s Law [9] that enables thermochemical values that are difficult to obtain directly, to be calculated. In 1890, Ostwald [10] considered Hess to be the founder of thermochemistry, although experiments on thermochemistry had been initiated long before then. 

Walden was a member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, elected in 1910. 

Several articles discussed achievements of Austrian chemists, often in connection with obituaries or when a chemist was awarded the Lieben Prize. One of the obituaries was for the chemist Adolf Lieben, who had initiated the Ignaz Lieben Preis in 1863 from money inherited from his father Ignaz Lieben. It was at that time a completely new idea to award a prize for excellence in science. The Lieben Foundation was controlled by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in Vienna. OCHZ always reported on the sessions of the mathematical-scientific class of the academy and also on the winners of the Lieben Prize. For example OCHZ reported on the Lieben Prize for Rudolf Wegscheider, professor at the University of Vienna and president of VOCH since 1905, and Hans Meyer, professor at the University of Prague, who later died in the concentration camp Theresienstadt in 1942. Wegscheider had published papers on the esterification of various adds and Meyer about the use of thionyl chloride in organic synthesis.
