Kirill Ilyich Samarajew ( Russian Кирилл Ильич Замараев ; born May 20, 1939 in Moscow , † June 26, 1996 in Novosibirsk ) was a Russian physical chemist and university professor .

Life

Samarajew graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MFTI) in 1963. After postgraduate he defended in 1966 his candidate dissertation . He then worked at the Moscow Institute for Chemical Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, from 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) first as a laboratory assistant and then as a research assistant and laboratory manager. At the same time he taught as a lecturer at the MFTI. In 1972, after defending his dissertation on electron spin resonance studies of the structure and reactivity of transition metal complexes, he received his doctorate in chemical sciences . 1974–1975 he was visiting scholar at Cornell University , Stanford University and the University of Chicago . In 1976 he was elected a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR.

In 1977, at the invitation of the Director of the Catalysis Institute of the Siberian Department (SO) of the AN-SSSR, Georgi Konstantinowitsch Boreskow, Samarajew came to Novosibirsk and became Deputy Director of the Catalysis Institute. At the same time he became professor and head of the chair of physical chemistry at Novosibirsk University . After Boreskov's death in 1984 he became director of the Catalysis Institute. The joint venture MNTK catalyst was founded under his leadership in 1985 . In 1987 he became a real member of the AN-SSSR, in whose presidium he joined in 1988. He was chairman of the Scientific Council of the State Committee on Science and Technology of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on problems of catalysis and its industrial applications. 1994–1995 he was President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry . He was an external member of the Indian Academy of Sciences . In 1995 Samarajew gave up his post as director. He was succeeded by Valentin Nikolaevich Parmon .

Samaraev made important contributions to the theory and practice of catalysis. He explored the mechanisms of catalytic reactions and the structure of the active sites with nuclear magnetic resonance , electron spin and cyclotron resonance - spectroscopy . Photochemical studies led to the development of catalytic reactors for utilizing solar energy . He created the theoretical foundations of spin exchange in solutions and advocated its applications in chemistry and biology . He discovered and examined in detail the tunnel - electron transfer and the kinetics at relatively large distances from 15 to 30 Å .

Samaraev's name includes grants for catalysis students from Novosibirsk University, an international support fund and a biennial SO der RAN award for young chemists.
