'''Paul Sabatier''' ([[November 5]], [[1854]] – [[August 14]], [[1941]]) was a French chemist, born at [[Carcassonne]]. He taught science classes most of his life before he became Dean of the Faculty of Science in 1905.
Sabatier's earliest research concerned the [[thermochemistry]] of [[sulfur]] and metallic [[sulfate]]s, the subject for the thesis leading to his doctorate. In [[Toulouse]], he continued his [[physics|physical]] and chemical investigations to [[sulfide]]s, [[chloride]]s, [[chromate]]s and [[copper]] compounds. He also studied the [[oxide]]s of [[nitrogen]] and [[nitrosodisulfonic acid]] and its [[salt]]s and carried out fundamental research on [[partition coefficient]]s and [[absorption spectrum|absorption spectra]].
Sabatier greatly facilitated the industrial use of hydrogenation. In 1897, he discovered that the introduction of a trace of nickel as a catalyst facilitated the addition of hydrogen to molecules of carbon compounds.
Sabatier is best known for the [[Sabatier process]] and his works such as ''La Catalyse en Chimie Orgarnique'' (Catalysis in organic chemistry) which was published in 1913. He won the [[Nobel Prize in Chemistry]] jointly with fellow Frenchman [[Victor Grignard]] in 1912.
Sabatier was married with four daughters, one of whom wed the famous Italian chemist [[Emilio Pomilio]].
