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 sulfates, the subject for the thesis leading to his doctorate. In Toulouse, he continued his physical
and chemical investigations to sulfides, chlorides, chromates and copper compounds.
