Elementoorganic Compounds Institute in Moscow that is subordinate to the General
and Technical Chemistry Department of the academy. It was established in 1955
and does research on hetero-organic compounds, polymers, and the organic
chemistry of isotopes. His work has involved synthesizing ethylene oxide and
propylene oxide through the direct oxidation of olefins by atmospheric oxygen. He
has investigated esters of cyanoformic acid and the production of transformer oils
by the chlorination of biphenyl. He is one of the developers of the current method
for concentrating and preserving fragments of radioactive isotopes. He has been
Academician Secretary since 1985. In 1988, he was appointed an advisor to the
