Soon an exhaustive article by Winkler entitled Germanium—a new element was published in the Journal of Russian Physico-Chemical Society . It was a new illustration of the brilliant similarity between the predicted properties of eka-silicon and real properties of germanium. 

Mendeleev visited London in late 1895 and discussed the argon problem with Ramsay. He reported back to the Russian Physico-Chemical Society on his return to Moscow, The subject has progressed little.There is little for its solution and the matter seems particularly obscure. Two years later, he wrote that since no compounds could be formed from argon and helium, their atomic weights should be regarded as doubtful. For Mendeleev, the study of compounds played an essential role in the incorporation of elements into the periodic system. He was reluctant to...
