Academician Iurii Al. Buslaev, tel.938-17-67
Buslaev, Iurii A., D. Chem. S. Born in 1929 in Syzran. Russian inorganic chemist.
Corresponding member, 1968; academician, 1981--of the Physical Chemistry and
Technology of Inorganic Materials Department. Academician secretary to the
Department since October 1988. He graduated from the Moscow D. I. Mendeleev
Chemical Engineering Institute in 1952. He has worked in the N. S. Kurnakov
Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the AN SSSR and the RAN since
1952. Since 1967, he has been deputy director of the Kurnakov Institute in
Moscow, that was established in 1934 to study metal alloys, rare earth elements,
and the chemistry of complex compounds and polymers. Since 1969, he has served
as Chief of the Inorganic Polymers laboratory of that institute. His works are in the
chemistry of transitional metals, the syntheses of their complex compounds,
multiple bonds in inorganic chemistry, polymerization of inorganic compounds,
and obtaining new classes of refractory substances. (GSE 4, p. 211.)
