Searches whose leads were followed to other sites are noted in those site files. This file records the queries and what the result pages alone showed (snippets only, [web] with the result URL where given).

  1. "Попытка химического понимания мирового эфира" Менделеев pdf: positive. It led to Wikisource, ether-wind.narod.ru and rusneb. Further copies seen in snippets: history-fiction.ru (1905, 47 pp.), djvu-books.narod.ru (scan, 2.41 MB; the Kedrov 1958 edition per Wikisource), publ.lib.ru (a collection listing "Попытка химического понимания мирового эфира. 1903 г." and "Из «Основ химии», 8-е издание 1906 г."), e-lib.nsu.ru (a 1910 Frolova printing), Scribd. Not opened.
  2. Mendeleev ether "newtonium" coronium zero series 1902: positive. It led to Lente 2019 (Springer). Other snippets: en.wikipedia "Coronium"; a Wiley 2020 paper on "The periodic system and the idea of a chemical element"; elementlookup.com "Why Was 'Ether' Removed From the Periodic Table?"; John Baez on Mathstodon (2024); a Scribd document "Why was ether removed". Not opened.
  3. Менделеев ньютоний эфир нулевой ряд короний таблица: positive. It led to ru.wikipedia and Habr. It shows that a large Russian-language body of claims exists that the "genuine" table had a zero row with the ether and that it was "removed" or "falsified" after Mendeleev's death. Snippets: istina.cemi-ras.ru (an article on "zero period elements"); s.science-biology.ru (a PDF, "the zero element of the genuine table of the Periodic Law of D.I. Mendeleev (1906)"); alternathistory.ru; spravochnick.ru; LiveJournal blogs.
  4. "подлинная таблица" Менделеев 1906 нулевой элемент Родионов: positive (related work and later claims). The source of the "genuine table" claim is V. G. Rodionov, «Место и роль мирового эфира в истинной таблице Д. И. Менделеева» (The place and role of the world ether in the true table of D. I. Mendeleev). Blogs say it was published in ЖРФМ (Журнал Русской Физической Мысли, Journal of Russian Physical Thought) "96 years" after 1906, i.e. about 2002. They claim the "genuine table (1906)" was in the 8th edition of Основы химии. The GPNTB SO RAN library page (prometeus.nsc.ru) lists Rodionov's article in its periodic-table bibliography. This is a claim by advocates; whether the 8th edition (1906) table printed x and y is the deciding record, and it was not obtained this run.
  5. Bensaude-Vincent 1982 "L'éther, élément chimique" Mendéléev British Journal for the History of Science: partial. The citation was confirmed: B. Bensaude-Vincent, "L'éther, élément chimique: un essai malheureux de Mendéleev en 1904 [or (1902)?]", BJHS 15 (1982) 183-188. Its title asks whether the essay was an "unfortunate essay". No full text was found; it is likely paywalled at Cambridge Core (not tried). Also cited by R. F. Hendry, "Lavoisier and Mendeleev on the Elements", Foundations of Chemistry (2005), and by Bensaude-Vincent (2019, Wiley).
  6. Музей-архив Менделеева рукопись "мирового эфира" короний Рамзай письмо: negative for archive records (looking for the manuscript or Ramsay letters in the Mendeleev Museum-Archive, St Petersburg University). Results were only popular retellings and alternative-ether books (Ridero, flibusta, samlib repeating Rodionov).
  7. Antropoff 1926 "element zero" neutronium Zeitschrift für angewandte Chemie periodic table: positive (related work). New: "100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's ..." in Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie (Wiley), dated 11 June 2026. It says element zero first appeared in a 1926 publication by Antropoff. Also en.wikipedia "Neutronium" and "Andreas von Antropoff"; a PT-L Google Group post comparing Antropoff's table with Schaltenbrand (1921); Chemical Galaxy (element zero at the centre of a spiral table). Not opened.
  8. "Основы химии" 1906 восьмое издание таблица нулевая группа x y скан РГБ: negative. Only irrelevant school curricula; the query was too narrow.
