Even before being awarded the Institute's Gold Medal, Mendeleev had become fascinated by the possible relationships between the chemical properties of the elements and their physical structure.
After several years in Odessa and St. Petersburg, Mendeleev worked from 1859 to 1861 in Paris with the French chemist and physicist Henri Victor Regnault, and also with the German chemist Robert Bunsen, in Heidelberg.
