Faced with this general consideration it will immediately be realized on inquiry into the particular position occupied within this general scheme by the scientific…

— Wilhelm Ostwald

By combining chemical, biochemical and physical techniques, it has thus become possible to investigate the nature of enzymic catalysis in a novel manner, complementary…

It has pleased no less than surprised me that of the many studies whereby I have sought to extend the field of general chemistry,…

— Wilhelm Ostwald

I was also interested in formulating the path of chemical reactions.

A catalyst is a substance which alters the velocity of a chemical reaction without appearing in the final products.

— Wolfgang Ostwald

Nowadays, however, we recognize that simultaneously with the typical case of a chemical reaction a typical case of catalytic effect had been studied which…

This success led my theoretical group to the chemical reactivity theory, extending more and more widely the range of compound and reactions that were…

— Kenichi Fukui

We are perhaps not far removed from the time when we shall be able to submit the bulk of chemical phenomena to calculation.

— Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac

As soon as chemists have a definite conception of the internal structure of the molecule of an organic compound, they are able to tackle…
