Organoelement Division
Laboratory for Organometallic Compounds
Head of laboratory-- Professor Dmitrii N. Kravtsov
135-9202
The laboratory was set up in 1935 at the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the USSR
Academy of Sciences. In 1954 it became a division of INEOS. Professor A. N.
Nesmeyanov (Nesmeianov) headed the laboratory from its organization until his
death in 1980.
Investigations in the field of physical organometallic chemistry. Studies on the properties of
univalent organometallic groups containing central atoms of transition or heavy
main group metals involving ?-bond polarity, comparative electronegativity and
chemical hardness as well as structure of potentially metallotropic systems. Spectral
investigations of novel types of hydrogen bonding and their role in protonation of
transition metal ?-complexes and hydrides.
Laboratory for Transition Metal p-Complexes
Head of laboratory-- Professor Margarita I. Rybinskaia (aya)
The laboratory was founded in 1978. Synthesis of neutral and cationic mono- and
polynuclear complexes including clusters with organic p-ligands. Investigation of
their structure and reactivity with the aim of obtaining polydecker and sandwich
cluster compounds. Elucidation of the mechanism responsible for stabilization of pcarbocationic
center by metallocomplex fragment and synthesis of the first stable
metallonium mono- and di-cations on the base of permethylated metallocenes.
Laboratory for Stereochemistry of Organometallic Compounds
Head of laboratory-- Professor Viacheslav I. Sokolov
The laboratory was set up in 1989. Development of new methods for preparing optically
active organometallic compounds, investigation of their chiroptical properties.
Application of enantiomeric organometallic derivatives of transition metals for
asymmetric synthesis of organic compounds. Synthesis of organometallic
derivatives of fullerenes, including optically active ones. Synthesis of optically
active porphyrins with pendant chiral organometallic substituents.
Laboratory for Organoaluminium and Organoboron Compounds
Head of laboratory-- Professor Vladimir I. Bregadze
