Irina Petrovna Belezkaja ( Russian Ирина Петровна Белецкая ; born March 10, 1933 in Leningrad ) is a Russian chemist , organometallic chemist and university professor .

Life

Belezkaja graduated from the chemistry faculty of Lomonosov University Moscow (MGU) in 1955. This was followed by the three-year aspirantur with a doctorate as a candidate in chemical sciences in 1958. She stayed at MGU and was awarded her doctorate in chemical sciences in 1963 . In 1970 Belezkaya was appointed professor. Since 1988, Belezkaja has headed the laboratory for organic element compounds .

Belezkaja's field of work is organometallic chemistry and its applications to problems in organic chemistry . Initially, the focus was on reaction mechanisms. Together with Oleg Reutov , she studied electrophilic reactions with saturated carbon . Then she investigated the reaction mechanisms of organometallic compounds and the reactivity of carbanions, particularly with regard to the reactivity and structure of the ion pairs . She developed the first methods for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds with the use of palladium - or nickel - catalysts . She also founded organic lanthanide chemistry.

Belezkaja has supervised more than 70 candidate dissertations and 8 doctoral dissertations. Valentin Ananikov was one of her students . More than 1000 scientific publications bear her name. She became a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (now the Russian Academy of Sciences) in 1974 and an Actual Member in 1992. From 1991–1993 she was President of the Division of Organic Chemistry of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). Until 2001 she worked on the IUPAC Committee on Chemical Weapons Destruction Technology (CWDT) . She is the editor-in-chief of the Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry .

Beletskaya is married and has one son.
