Mendeleeff, (profess?) of the University at St. Petersburg ЖРФ-ХО That Same Year—Abstracted by the Zeitschrift für Chemie Mendeleev’s periodic table first appeared in a chemical journal in the 1869 volume of the Журнал Русскаго Физико-Химическаго Общества [ЖРФХО].

Founded by Kekulé 1858 Edited by Erlenmeyer from 1859-1865 Editorship passed to Fittig, Beilstein and Hübner in 1865 regular publication restored original research papers encouraged readership rose rapidly, but then declined rapidly restored prominence of journal as a serious competitor to Liebig’s Annalen Became a major forum for discussions of theories in chemistry Became a major outlet for publication of results by Russian chemists thanks to Beilstein Eventually failed (1871) as the Berichte became the major outlet for short communications 4 8/19/14 My Task Simplified… By 1890, the chemistry community had pretty much settled on the Zeitschrift paper My Task Simplified… By 1890, the chemistry community had pretty much settled on the Zeitschrift paper I did not demur The Presentation St. Petersburg State University, October 31, 2013.
