He contributed to Graham - Otto ’s extensive textbook on chemistry (at that time a standard work), where he worked on the first volume on physical and theoretical chemistry with Heinrich Buff and Hermann Kopp (1857), and on the annual report on the progress of pure, pharmaceutical and technical chemistry, physics, mineralogy and geology by Justus von Liebig and Hermann Kopp as well as at the New Encyclopedia of Sciences and Arts (Franckh'sche Buchhandlung, Stuttgart 1847-1854).
