Paterno, Emanuele

The most immediate roots of structural chemistry are in the well-known works and discoveries of Pasteur, van t Hoff, and others [78], The four valences in a tetrahedral arrangement of carbon, however, were first described by Emanuele Paterno [79] in an obscure journal. Since he did not develop all the consequences of his hypothesis, the credit, justifiably, belongs to van t Hoff (and Le Bel). Yet it is worthwhile to quote Paterno (after [20]) because there is even direct reference in his work to what would be called conformational isomers today ...
