A Guide to the Russian Academy of Sciences - University of Texas ...

The institute has added a new thrust in research that involves Mathematical Chemistry and
Computer Synthesis in which late information about chemical technologies are
being applied. This work is being done in two laboratories and one department:
(1.) The Mathematical Chemistry and Computer Design Laboratory of
Professor N. S. Zefirov;
(2.) the Computer Assistance to Chemical Research Laboratory of Dr. A. S.
Mendkovich Academician of the RAS, and
The Department of Scientific and Technical Information under the direction of
Dr. V. M. Khutoretski.
Address: Leninski Prospect 47, Moscow B-334.

N. D. Zelinsky (skii) Institute of Organic Chemistry [IOC] Russian
Academy of Sciences
Tartakovskii, Vladimir A., D. Chem. S. Born in 1936. Corresponding
member of the General and Technical Chemistry Department of the
Academy since 1987; academician in 1993. In 1958, he was listed as
a senior researcher in the N. D. Zelinskii Organic Chemistry Institute
in Moscow. He is presently director of the Institute of Organic
Chemistry named after N. D. Zelinskii (IOC) located in Moscow.

Brief history
The Institute of Organic Chemistry (IOC) was established by the Act of the
Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences on February 23, 1934.
The list of IOC Directors opens with the name of Academician A. E.
Favorsky (skii) (1934-39) succeeded by Academicians A. N.
Nesmeyanov (Nesmeianov)(1939-54), B. A. Kazansky (skii) (1954-
66) and N. K. Kochetkov (1966-88). Presently the Institute is
headed by Academician V. A. Tartakovsky (skii) .
In 1953 the Institute was named after Academician N. D. Zelinsky (skii)
who had headed one of the departments in 1936-53 and greatly
contributed to the development of the Institute.
Today
Today the N. D. Zelinsky (skii) Institute of Organic Chemistry of the
Russian Academy of Sciences is a multi-type establishment, one of
the largest centers of fundamental research in the field of organic
chemistry, catalysis and chemistry of natural and biologically active
compounds both in our country and abroad.
The following major trends have taken shape and are successfully
developing in the Institute:
the study of the reactivity of organic compounds and mechanisms of
organic reactions;
the creation of new methods and ways of organic synthesis;
structural and synthetic investigations of biologically active and
