Abstract
This paper seeks to understand the institutional and cognitive features of the development of chemistry as a discipline in Latin America. With this purpose, a comparative study between Argentina, Colombia and Mexico has been carried out. We show that the history of chemistry in these countries can be divided into 3 stages: first, the institutionalization of teaching as a distinct discipline by a creation of a university chemical degree and the differentiation from pharmacology; second, the creation of national chemical organization; and finally, the professionalization of chemical research. The work aims to show how the development of chemistry in these countries involved a distinct sequence in its institutionalization in the teaching, practice and research.
