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]]. ==External links== * [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1912/sabatier-lecture.html Nobel Lecture] ''The Method of Direct Hydrogenation by Catalysis'' from Nobelprize.org website * [http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1912/sabatier-bio.html Biography] Biography from Nobelprize.org website ==References== *{{cite journal | title = Paul Sabatier (to 150th anniversary of his birthday) | author = | journal = Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry | volume = 77 | issue = 11 | pages = 1582 | year = 2004 | url = | doi = 10.1007/s11167-005-0190-6}} *{{cite journal | title = Presidential address.
