“…51 The strengths and weaknesses that identified the method followed by Regnault in his researches on chemistry were typical to his works in other branches of science, particularly in physics. 3 His obsession for precision and the use of the most up-to-date techniques was generally accompanied by an inappropriate and unbalanced utilization of the conceptions of theory and experiment. It was reflected both in the planning of the experimental program and in the analysis of the corresponding results.…”

Recebido em 13/2/11; aceito em 1/8/11; publicado na web em 20/9/11 A very little known aspect of the scientific career of Regnault is his contribution to the emerging organic chemistry in the first half of the nineteenth century. The purpose of this article is not only to describe two of his most important researches in this field, as were the discovery of two series of halogenated derivates of certain organic compounds and the precise identification of some of the then recently discovered alkaloids, but also the main features that identified his research method. With the involvement in these subjects, Regnault unintentionally positioned himself in the midst of some of the polemics about the classification of organic compounds that characterized this age of science.

“…Unfortunately, this was not the case in the 19 th Century CE. In 1835, Henri Victor Regnault (1810-1878) [71,72] reported a new radical C 2 H 3 (formulated C 4 H 6 at the time) which he termed aldehydène [73]. This radical was present in the compounds H 2 C=CHCl, H 2 C=CHBr, BrCH 2 CH 2 Br and many others that he isolated.…”

“…Recent research by Carey (2017) and her cited evidence have revealed that the Sèvres Museum took an active interest in ceramic production in Iran during the mid-nineteenth century and undertook chemical experiments on samples of raw materials used in Persian ceramic production. 81 Henri-Victor Regnault (1810-1878), 82 who was appointed director of the Sèvres Porcelain Factory in 1852, five years after the death of Alexandre Brongniart, commissioned Emile Duhousset (1823-1911), a French army officer in Tehran between 1858 and 1861, to conduct much extensive fieldwork and research on ceramics production in Iran. The Sèvres Museum was also in correspondence regarding Persian ceramics with Domenico Fochetti, the first professor of chemistry and pharmacy at Dar al-Fonun.…”

This paper focuses on the production technology of late nineteenth-century tiles from the Ettehadieh House Complex in Tehran, Iran. It makes use of the opportunity to provide for the first time the results of chemical and microstructural analyses of late nineteenth-century tiles selected directly from context and with known provenance. The paper integrates the results of chemical study of the Ettehadieh tiles with other available technological information on nineteenth-century Persian tiles, including chemical analyses of signed tiles and samples of pigments, as well as the study of the treatise of a certain Persian potter, ‘Ali Mohammad Isfahani, to suggest processes of materials procurement and manufacture. These processes are used as evidence to discuss trade and technological interactions between Iran and Europe in the nineteenth century.
