  • Title: [The scientific career of Scheele cannot be reduced to chlorine discovery].
    Author: Lafont O.
    Journal: Rev Hist Pharm (Paris); 2008 Feb; 55(356):467-72. PubMed ID: 18549186.
    Abstract:
    The life of this poor pharmacist and very efficient man of science was made of many encounters: meeting with pharmacy, meeting with chemistry, meeting with prestigious scientists, meeting with chlorine, meeting with oxygen, meeting with organic chemistry, etc. This chemist devoid of money, working with rudimental apparatus did discover chlorine but he also discovered oxygen before Priestley, unfortunately he did not publish his results in time. He isolated also many organic acids and even glycerol, before the rising of organic chemistry.
