Awarded the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1901 for his work on
chemical dynamics and on osmotic pressure in solutions, the Dutch
scientist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff (1852-1911) was also a
pioneer in the field of stereochemistry - the three-dimensional
analysis of chemical structures. This 1898 publication is based on
the revised and expanded German translation of his Dix annees dans
l'histoire d'une theorie (1887), itself an updated version of his
major work La chimie dans l'espace (1875). Translated and edited by
the English chemist Arnold Eiloart, it covers the stereochemistry
of carbon and nitrogen compounds, and contains an appendix on
inorganic compounds by the Swiss chemist Alfred Werner (another
future recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry). Using
experimental results, van 't Hoff shows how the varying spatial
arrangement of similar compounds leads to differing chemical and
optical behaviour.
