Émile Kopp (3 March 1817 – 30 November 1875) was a French organic chemist and politician.
Kopp was appointed professor of toxicology at the school of pharmacy in Strasbourg in 1847.[1][2] He was elected to the first legislative assembly of the Second French Republic on 28 May 1849.[1] However, he became involved in an ill-fated uprising on 13 June in favour of the Roman Republic, which had been overthrown by French troops under Oudinot, and was forced to flee to Switzerland. He briefly taught physics and chemistry in Lausanne before moving to England in 1851,[1] where he became the manager of a factory in Manchester producing "Turkey red" (alizarin).[2] He was able to return to Strasbourg in 1855, where he directed the laboratory of Charles Gerhardt for a year.[1] He taught chemistry at various institutions before being appointed to the federal polytechnic (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1871.[1][2] He died in Zurich in 1875.[2]
