from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Evgenjewitsch Schilow ( Russian Александр Евгеньевич Шилов , born January 6, 1930 in Ivanovo , Soviet Union ; † June 6, 2014 ) was a Russian chemist .

life and work

Schilow studied chemistry at the University of Kiev , where he graduated with a diploma in 1952. He received his doctorate in 1955 in the working group of the Nobel Prize winner Nikolai Nikolajewitsch Semjonow at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow. After a post-doctorate with Sir Cyril Norman Hinshelwood at Oxford University in London, he returned to the Institute for Biochemical Physics in Moscow, where he later took over the post of director. In 1981 he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR . In 1990 he became a full member of the academy. Since 1991 he has been a member of the Academia Europaea . In 2001 he received the Semyonov Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Shilov system

Shilov cycle

In the late 1960s, he discovered the platinum - catalyzed CH activation of alkanes and researched the reaction mechanism and the reaction kinetics of the reaction. The Schilow system is a classic example of a catalytic CH activation. Shilow published more than 300 publications over the course of his career.
