"Wöhler's analysis of cyanates appeared in 1824 the paper offered shortly after Liebig's analysis of fulminates. Gay-Lussac then editor of the 'Annales de Chimie' noted that the analysis of cyanic and fulminic acid were identical - the first case of isomerism. This incident brought Wöhler and Liebig together and there followed many years of collaboration in which the two studied the chemistry of benzaldehyde and numerous other compounds."
