Abstract

Louis-Claude Cadet de Gassicourt (1731-1799), discovered (and died without knowing it) accidentally, the
first organometallic compounds (cacodyls) while carring out a work related to invisible inks. He studied borax and the
preparation of sodium carbonate from algae. He developed a more economic process for the continuous manufacturing
of ether and studied together with Lavoisier and others, the combustion of diamond using a liquid concave-convex lens.
