Chemical Society
The Chemical Society was founded in London in 1841 by chemists from industry and science as well as those with general chemical interests. In 1980 she was accepted into the Royal Society of Chemistry .
The Chemical Society was founded under its original name, Chemical Society of London, by 77 scientists including doctors, academics, manufacturers and entrepreneurs. Its first president was the chemist and physical chemist Thomas Graham . In 1847 they were given a Royal Charter . The German chemist August Wilhelm von Hofmann was its president from 1861 to 1863 .
Attempts to set up a chemical company had already been made in London. For example, an offshoot of the Lunar Society in the 1780s and a foundation in 1824, which did not last long.
In 1980 the Chemical Society was merged with the Faraday Society , the Royal Institute of Chemistry and the Society for Analytical Chemistry in the Royal Society of Chemistry.
She published books and journals, including from 1849 to 1965 the Journal of the Chemical Society (then Quarterly Journal of the Chemical Society) and from 1841 to 1964 the Proceedings of the, which were founded as Memoirs of the Chemical Society and partly existed as a supplement to the journal Chemical Society . The Chemical Society Quarterly Reviews appeared twice a week from 1947 to 1971 and thereafter as Chemical Society Reviews.
In addition to membership, which was open to anyone interested in chemistry, there was also fellow status.
