The laboratory was founded in 1992. Development of methods for the synthesis of
organometallic radicals and ion-radicals of transition metals, compounds, electronic
structure and reactivity studies, applications in organometallic synthesis.
Laboratory for Chemistry of Organometallic Clusters
Head of laboratory-- Professor Avtandil A. Koridze
The laboratory was founded in 1993, based on the team, founded in 1989. Development of
methods for preparation of homo- and heteronuclear clusters of transition metals,
the study of transformations of hydrocarbons and carbon oxide on metal clusters,
the study of intramolecular rearrangements in organometallic complexes.
Team for Organometallic Synthesis
Team leader-- Professor Leonid I. Zakharkin
The team was set up in 1989 based on the laboratory founded at 1960. Chemistry of
polyhedral organoelement compounds: carboranes, metallocarboranes and
heteroboranes, catalytic conversions of diene hydrocarbons to the products used in
industrial organic synthesis.
Team for Technical Chemistry
Team leader-- Dr. Sergei M. Igumnov
The team was organized in 1995 on the basis of team of methods for synthesis of
organofluorine compounds. The team is engaged in the search of new technic
means of chemical aims solution.
At present time the main direction of activity is elaboration of new technology of
organofluorine compounds and their production on pilot plants.
Team for Applied Organometallic Chemistry
Team leader-- Dr. Valeriy A. Nikanorov
The team was founded in 1992. The use of organometallic (both of transition and nontransition
elements) molecular objects, methods and concepts in promising areas of
chemistry, design and architecture of molecular electronic and photoelectronic
devices on the basis of novel metal-containing advanced materials.
