Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie (often cited as just Liebigs Annalen) was one of the oldest and historically most important journals in the field of organic chemistry worldwide. It was established in 1832 and edited by Justus von Liebig with Friedrich Wöhler and others[1] until Liebig's death in 1873. The journal was originally titled Annalen der Pharmacie;[2] after the death of von Liebig, its name was changed to Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie.[3]

In 1997, the journal merged with Recueil des Travaux Chimiques des Pays-Bas to form Liebigs Annalen/Recueil. In 1998, it was absorbed by European Journal of Organic Chemistry by merger of a number of other national European chemistry journals.[4]

History edit

Liebigs Annalen started as the publication of the work of Justus von Liebig as a druggist's apprentice, along with the work of his friends and students, and was published on a regular monthly basis from 1832 to 1873, with some supplementary volumes printed throughout the 1860s and 70s. The original Annalen der Pharmacie was formed from a merger between two pharmaceutical journals: the Magazin fur Pharmazie und die dahin einschlagenden Wissenschaften, at which Liebig started working as an editor in 1831, and Archiv des Apothekervereins im nordlichen Deutschland, edited by Rudolph Brandes.[2]
