Societe Chimique de Paris

Following the Chemical Society of London, other major chemical societies were established in the next few decades, among them the Societe Chimique de Paris in 1857, the Deutsche Chemische Gesellschaft in 1867, and the Amer-... 

The overall research activity on soluble ferments, that is on enzymatic reactions, is scarce in this period nevertheless seen as important (Berthelot, 1857, 1864). Thus in the German Journal fur Praktische Chemie , in the period from 1850 to 1860 no paper dealt with soluble ferments (enzymatic activities) and 8 papers were published on fermentation (Gahrang, with the meaning of microbial activity) in the Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de Paris, one of the most important of the time for fermentation research, there was published about one article per year in the 1860 s dealing with soluble ferments, which signifies enzyme activity, and 3 to 4 dealing with fermentation (Table 1.2). It was only in the 1880 s that research and publication activities rose significantly.

In an able and suggestive paper published in the "Bulletin de la Societe Chimique de Paris" for February 1865, Kekule uses a modification of his original notation, which to a great extent removes my first objection to it, but at the same time lays it open to another and more serious one—that of obscurity and ambiguity. That this is not an imaginary or trivial defect is made evident by the circumstance that Kekule has himself, in the paper referred to, been led into an error by his notation. ... 

New versions of the society s statutes and by-laws were approved in summer 1859. The name was henceforth Societe chimique de Paris, and the maximum membership was set (by the imperial government) at 500. A prospective new... 

In this context the early role of Wurtz in organizing, with the help of the Societe chimique de Paris and its publieations, a deliberate eampaign for the second chemical revolution is quite revealing for the soeiety s difficult struggle for epistemic authority. A second example of the society s arduous attempt to expand its area of disciplinary authority was the boimdary-work it embarked upon at the intersection between pure and applied ehemistry.

Tables 15.1 and 15.2 summarize the foundation years of those national chemical societies that are dealt with in this book. The Chemical Society, the first national chemical society, was founded in 1841 in Great Britain, and remained the only one on the scene until the founding of Societe chimique de Paris in 1857. About ten years later almost simultaneously came into being the chemical societies in the Czech Lands, Germany, Russia and Austria. In the first three countries the societies evolved into stable platforms of the national chemical communities existing up to the present in spite of their various transformations in the early deeades. The Austrian chemists, however, had to wait until 1897 for an association covering their needs.

The Societe Chimique de Paris (from 1906 the Societe Chimique de France) was founded in 1857 by some of the younger chemists in Paris. Dumas was president in 1859 and Wurtz secretary. The Bulletin was issued from 1863. On account of his enthusiastic work in the earlier stages, Wurtz was regarded as the true founder of the Society, which became the centre of interest in the atomic theory and organic chemistry in France. The London Chemical Society was founded in 1848.
