Kabachnik, Martin I., D. Chem. S. Born in 1908 in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk).
Russian organic chemist. Academician of the General and Technical Chemistry
Department of the Academy since 1958. He graduated from the Second Moscow
Chemical Engineering Institute in 1931. Since 1954, he has been the Head of the
Phosphor-organic Chemistry Laboratory of the Element-organic Compounds
Institute. Since 1977, he has been Deputy Director of the A. N. Nesmeianov
Element-organic Compounds Institute in Moscow. His works are in the chemistry
of organophosphorous compounds and theoretical problems of organic chemistry.
He received the State Prize in 1946. He is currently a member of the Bureau
Governing Body of ;the General and Technical Chemistry Department of the
Academy in Moscow. (GSE 11, p. 316.)
Kabanov, Viktor A. Born in 1934 in Moscow. Russian chemist. Corresponding
member of the General and Technical Chemistry Department of the Academy in
1968, and academician since 1987. He graduated from Moscow State University in
1956, a student of V. A. Kargin. Since 1970, he has headed the subdepartment of
high molecular-weight compounds at Moscow State University. Since 1972, he has
been Head of the electrochemical Properties of Metals and Semiconductors
Laboratory of the Electrochemistry Institute in Moscow that was established in
1958 to study electron and proton transfer in batteries. He discovered and explained
the phenomenon or rapid low-temperature polymerization of solid monomers
during phase transformations. He is Chairman of the Commission on Radiation of
the International Geophysical Committee of the Presidium of the Academy. In
1984, he was the recipient of the S. V. Lebedev Prize in organic chemistry. He is a
recipient of the Order of the Red Banner Badge of Honor Medal. He is presently the
Academician-Secretary of the General and Technical Chemistry Department in
Moscow. (GSE 11, p. 318.)
Kazanskii, Vladimir B., D. Chem. S. Born in 1931 in Moscow. Russian physical
chemist. Corresponding member since 1974; academician in 1993. He graduated
from Moscow State University in 1954, and from 1957 to 1967, he was on the
staff of the Institute of Chemical Physics of the AN SSSR. Since 1967, he became
Deputy Director of the N. D. Zelinskii Organic Chemistry Institute in Moscow that
was founded in 1934 to conduct theoretical and Chemical research and to produce
catalysts. Since 1969, he has also been Head of the Catalyst Synthesis Laboratory
of the institute. His works deal with the reactive centers on the surfaces of oxide
catalysts, with the role of adsorbed free radicals in catalytic oxidation, and with
radiation-catalyzed processes. (GSE 30, p. 533.)
Kochetkov, Nikolai K., D. Chem. S. Born in 1915 in Moscow. Russian organic
chemist. Corresponding member, 1960, and academician, since 1979. He
graduated from the M. V. Lomonosov Institute of Fine Chemical Technology in
Moscow in 1939. Since 1966, he has been Director of the N. D. Zelinskii Organic
Chemical Institute in Moscow that was established in 1934 to do both theoretical
and experimental Chemical research. It produces Chemical catalysts. Since 1970,
he has also been Head of the Carbohydrates Laboratory of the institute. He is a
corresponding member of the Medical and Biological Sciences Department of the
Academy of Medical Sciences. He is a specialist in organic synthesis, the chemistry
of medicinal substances, and the chemistry of natural products. He has developed
several new methods of organic synthesis. He is currently a Deputy to the
Academician Secretary of the General and Technical Chemistry Department of the
Academy. (GSE 13, p. 355.)
Kolotyrkin, Iakov M., D. Chem. S. Born in 1910. Academician since 1970. Since
1957, he has been Director of the L. Ia. Karpov Physical Chemistry Scientific
Research Institute of the Ministry of the Chemical Industry located in Moscow.
