    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Frankland

    Edward Frankland. Sir Edward Frankland, KCB, FRS, FRSE (18 January 1825 – 9 August 1899) was an English chemist. He was one of the originators of organometallic chemistry and introduced the concept of combining power or valence. An expert in water quality and analysis, he was a member of the second royal commission on the pollution of rivers ...

  3. Edward Frankland Armstrong - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Frankland_Armstrong

    Edward Frankland Armstrong FRS (5 September 1878 – 14 December 1945) was an English organic chemist who researched carbohydrates, catalysis, and industrial applications. Armstrong was the eldest son of chemistry professor H. E. Armstrong and Frances Louisa (1843/4–1935), daughter of pharmacist Thomas Howard Lavers and was born in Lewisham ...

  4. Boronic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boronic_acid

    In 1860, Edward Frankland was the first to report the preparation and isolation of a boronic acid. Ethylboronic acid was synthesized by a two-stage process. First, diethylzinc and triethyl borate reacted to produce triethylborane. This compound then oxidized in air to form ethylboronic acid.

    English chemist Edward Frankland. The X Club came together during a period of turbulent conflict in both science and religion in Victorian England.The publication in 1859 of Charles Darwin's book On the Origin of Species through Natural Selection brought a storm of argument, with the scientific establishment of wealthy amateurs and clerical naturalists as well as the Church of England ...

  6. Butane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butane

    Butane (/ ˈbjuːteɪn /) or n-butane is an alkane with the formula C 4 H 10. Butane is a highly flammable, colorless, easily liquefied gas that quickly vaporizes at room temperature and pressure. The name butane comes from the root but- (from butyric acid, named after the Greek word for butter) and the suffix -ane.

  7. Organotin chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organotin_chemistry

    Organotin chemistry is the scientific study of the synthesis and properties of organotin compounds or stannanes, which are organometallic compounds containing tin – carbon bonds. The first organotin compound was diethyltin diiodide ((CH3CH2)2SnI2), discovered by Edward Frankland in 1849. [1] The area grew rapidly in the 1900s, especially ...

  8. Dimethylzinc - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylzinc

    Dimethylzinc was first prepared by Edward Frankland during his work with Robert Bunsen in 1849 at the University of Marburg. After heating a mixture of zinc and methyl iodide in an airtight vessel, a flame burst out when the seal was broken. [ 5 ]

  9. Organozinc chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organozinc_chemistry

    In 1848 Edward Frankland prepared the first organozinc compound, diethylzinc, by heating ethyl iodide in the presence of zinc metal. [5] This reaction produced a volatile colorless liquid that spontaneous combusted upon contact with air. Due to their pyrophoric nature, organozinc compounds are generally prepared using air-free techniques.
