Wiley-VCH is a German publisher owned by John Wiley & Sons. It was founded in 1921 as Verlag Chemie (meaning "Chemistry Press": VCH stands for Verlag Chemie [1] ) by two German learned societies. Later, it was merged into the German Chemical Society (GDCh). In 1991, VCH acquired Akademie Verlag. It has been owned by John Wiley & Sons since 1996. [2] The humanities section of Akademie Verlag and the Akademie brand were sold in 1997 to R. Oldenbourg Verlag, while VCH retained the natural sciences catalog.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Crotonic acid</span> Chemical compound

Crotonic acid ((2E)-but-2-enoic acid) is a short-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid described by the formula CH3CH=CHCO2H. The name crotonic acid was given because it was erroneously thought to be a saponification product of croton oil. It crystallizes as colorless needles from hot water. With a cis-alkene, Isocrotonic acid is an isomer of crotonic acid. Crotonic acid is soluble in water and many organic solvents. Its odor is similar to that of butyric acid.

Ethylenediamine (abbreviated as en when a ligand) is the organic compound with the formula C2H4(NH2)2. This colorless liquid with an ammonia-like odor is a basic amine. It is a widely used building block in chemical synthesis, with approximately 500,000 tonnes produced in 1998. Ethylenediamine is the first member of the so-called polyethylene amines.

Hydrazines (R2N−NR2) are a class of chemical compounds with two nitrogen atoms linked via a covalent bond and which carry from one up to four alkyl or aryl substituents. Hydrazines can be considered as derivatives of the inorganic hydrazine (H2N−NH2), in which one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by hydrocarbon groups.

Allyl bromide (3-bromopropene) is an organic halide. It is an alkylating agent used in synthesis of polymers, pharmaceuticals, synthetic perfumes and other organic compounds. Physically, allyl bromide is a colorless liquid with an irritating and persistent smell, however, commercial samples are yellow or brown. Allyl bromide is more reactive but more expensive than allyl chloride, and these considerations guide its use.

Verlag für Geowissenschaften Berlin is a German scientific publisher of titles relating to the geological sciences, founded in 1998. It was originally established as a publishing arm associated with a learned society devoted to the history and historiography of geological research, the Verein Berlin-Brandenburgische Geologie-Historiker "Leopold von Buch" co-founded the same year by the noted historian of natural sciences at Rostock University, Martin Guntau. The publisher's offices were initially based in the borough of Pankow, East Berlin, later relocating to Ahrensfelde in the adjoining Landkreis (district) of Barnim in the German state of Brandenburg. The publisher and director since its founding is Ulrich Wutzke.

The code is checked by an appointed Reproducible Research Editor before it is published as supplementary material.

The Journal für praktische Chemie was a German-language scientific journal for chemistry. The journal was founded in 1828 by Otto Linné Erdmann (1804–1869) as the Journal für technische und ökonomische Chemie, the oldest chemical trade journal in Germany. From 1828 to 1869 Erdmann was the editor, along with Franz Wilhelm Schweigger-Seidel, Richard Felix Marchand, and Gustav Werther. From 1870 to 1884 Hermann Kolbe was the editor-in-chief. From 1879 to 1884 Ernst von Meyer worked as co-editor under Kolbe and became editor-in-chief upon Kolbe's death in 1884 and continued in that capacity until his own death in 1916. Beginning in 1917 the journal was edited by Julius Bredt, Theodor Curtius, Karl Elbs, Otto Fischer (1852–1932), Fritz Foerster, and Berthold Rassow with August Darapsky as editor-in-chief. Beginning in 1953 the Journal für praktische Chemie was published by the Chemische Gesellschaft der DDR.
