opinion that the ordinary constitutional formulae did not afford an adequate explanation of certain carbon compounds, andsuggested that account must be taken of the verschiedeneLagerung ihrer Atome im Raume. Later (see Die rdumliche Anordnung der Atome in organischen Molekiilen, 1887) he extended the application of the van't Hoff-Le Bel theory, believing that it, together with the supposition that there are " specially directed forces, the affinity-energies," which determine the relative position of atoms in the molecule, afforded a method by which the spatial arrangement of atoms in particular cases may be ascertained by experiment. Wislicenus is also known for his work on aceto-acetic ester and its application as a synthetical agent. He was awarded the Davy medal by the Royal Society in 1898.
