In 1874, <a href="/wiki/Jacobus_Henricus_van_%27t_Hoff" title="Jacobus Henricus van &#39;t Hoff">Van 't Hoff</a> built on the work on isomers of German chemist <a href="/wiki/Johannes_Wislicenus" title="Johannes Wislicenus">Johannes Wislicenus</a>, and showed that the four valencies of the <a href="/wiki/Carbon_atom" class="mw-redirect" title="Carbon atom">carbon atom</a> were probably directed in space toward the four corners of a regular tetrahedron, a model which explained how optical activity could be associated with an asymmetric carbon atom. He shares credit for this with the French chemist <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Le_Bel" class="mw-redirect" title="Joseph Le Bel">Joseph Le Bel</a>, who independently came up with the same idea. Three months before his doctoral degree was awarded Van 't Hoff published this theory, which today is regarded as the foundation of <a href="/wiki/Stereochemistry" title="Stereochemistry">stereochemistry</a>, first in a Dutch pamphlet in the fall of 1874, and then in the following May in a small French book entitled <i>La chimie dans l'espace</i>.
