Primary literature (historical sources) Translations Structural chemistry Organic chemistry 19th century Kekulé von Stradonitz, Friedrich August Kolbe, Hermann

Although it is generally thought that the ideas of Mr. Kolbe and those of Mr. Kekulé on chemical constitution have no resemblance to each other, I believe that I can prove that their theoretical views are based on the same, or nearly the same fundamental principles, and that the difference in their conclusions is explained by the fact that these principles are not always applied in a manner that is sufficiently general and sufficiently rigorous. Now that we are beginning to move on from the school of Gerhardt, it is not difficult to note that the ideas formerly expressed by French chemists, and those of their opponents, were not always very far from each other. Sometimes, the difference lay in the form, rather than in the substance of these ideas.
