etc.) for scientific, industrial and medical applications. Testing of NMR-systems
and subsystems. Consulting for users, designers, and manufacturers.
Laboratory for Physical Chemistry of Solid State
Head of laboratory-- Professor Granit K. Semin
The laboratory was founded in 1989 on the basis of the team for nuclear quadrupole
resonance organized in 1961.
The study of inter- and intramolecular interactions by means of nuclear quadrupole
resonance and photoelectron spectroscopy. The search for correlation between the
properties of substances at the micro- and macro-levels. Development of measuring
techniques.
Laboratory for Molecular Spectroscopy
Head of laboratory-- Professor Boris V. Lokshin
The laboratory was founded in 1965. Application of molecular spectroscopy methods (IR,
far IR, UV, visible and Raman spectroscopy) for studying the structure and
reactivity of organoelement compounds, the structure of unstable compounds at low
temperatures and molecular dynamics in crystals.
Laboratory for Computer Chemistry
Head of laboratory-- Professor Yury (Iurii) A. Borisov
The laboratory was set up in 1987. The modelling methods for investigating the structure,
physico-chemical properties and reactivity of organoelement compounds and
polymers, bibliographic and factual databases, new computer software.
Laboratory for Quantum Chemistry
Head of laboratory-- Dr. Ivan V. Stankevich
The laboratory was founded by Professor D. A. Bochvar in 1967, based on the team for
quantum chemistry. In 1987 it was renamed to computer chemistry laboratory,
which was directed by Professor Iurii A. Borisov. In 1989 the team was separated
from the computer chemistry laboratory and in 1994 it was transformed into the
laboratory again.
In 1973 Professor D. A. Bochvar and Dr. E. G. Gal'pern (Galpern) inferred from an
MOLCAO calculation of the polyhedral carbon cluster C60 (Fullerene) that this
molecule should be stable.
Development and mathematical substantiation of the methods for quantum-chemistry
modeling of electron molecular structure and their application to the theory of
reactivity of organoelement compounds. The use of quantum chemistry methods in
the search for new molecular systems, simulation of their structure and prediction
of the properties.
