Polycondensation

Abstract

The nineteenth century has witnessed the gradual transformation of alchemy into modern chemistry. In a simplified view of this process one may say that this evolution mainly proceeded on two tracks. Definition of elements, detection of elements, and elaboration of the periodic table represent one track. Syntheses of organic molecules in the laboratory and the elaboration of formulas allowing for a correct three-dimensional description of organic molecules represent the second track.
