Notable quotes

“A French saltpetre manufacturer, Courtois, in 1811 discovered a strange substance in the soda obtained from sea plants; he told his discovery to Clément, who showed the body in question to Davy. Davy soon demonstrated its elementary nature and Gay Lussac, after a complete investigation of iodine, as he called it, and its compounds, succeeded in showing its marked likeness to chlorine.”
— Francis Paul Armitage, A History of Chemistry (1906) p.74
“Laurent, in 1837, striving after the real truth of substitution, had pictured the organic molecule as a prism, the angles of which were occupied by carbon atoms, the centres of its edges by hydrogen atoms, or failing these by chlorine, bromine, or iodine atoms.”
— Francis Paul Armitage, A History of Chemistry (1906) p.160
“In 1812 [Humphry Davy's] Elements of Chemical Philosophy was published, and next year he travelled on the Continent. During this journey, while in Paris, he examined iodine, and declared it to be an element.”
— James Campbell Brown, A History of Chemistry from the Earliest Times (1920) p.338
“In 1812 and 1813 iodine, discovered by Courtois, a French soapmaker, and investigated by Gay Lussac, was added to the list of acidifiers.”
— Francis Preston Venable, A Short History of Chemistry (1909)
“Gay-Lussac (1778 1850)... enriched chemical literature by many excellent investigations, working often in company with Thenard, Humbolt, and Liebig. His most noteworthy work was upon iodine, cyanogen (the first compound radical), the alkaline oxides, the isolation of boron, improved methods for organic analysis, and many similar studies.”
— Francis Preston Venable, History of Chemistry (1922) p.67
“The table of Mendeleeff was changed but little for thirty years. Its anomalies, as the omission of hydrogen and the rejection of the atomic weight as the deciding factor in such cases as cobalt and nickel, tellurium and iodine, etc., were recognized; but greater knowledge was needed before these could be explained or the underlying law grasped.”
— Francis Preston Venable, History of Chemistry (1922) p.85-86
