Abstract
The first use of the word 'chlorophyll' (chlorophile or chlorophyle in the French original) appeared in two papers by Pierre-Joseph Pelletier and Joseph Bienaimé Caventou, pharmacists in Paris who isolated and studied the green pigment from plants. Here, we provide English translations of their 1818 note and the slightly longer 1817 paper. Historical context is provided including a timeline of key discoveries in chlorophyll chemistry pertaining to photosynthesis.
期刊介绍：
Photosynthesis Research is an international journal open to papers of merit dealing with both basic and applied aspects of photosynthesis. It covers all aspects of photosynthesis research, including, but not limited to, light absorption and emission, excitation energy transfer, primary photochemistry, model systems, membrane components, protein complexes, electron transport, photophosphorylation, carbon assimilation, regulatory phenomena, molecular biology, environmental and ecological aspects, photorespiration, and bacterial and algal photosynthesis.
