Nikolai Alexandrowitsch Schilow , Russian Никола́й Алекса́ндрович Шилов , (born July 10, 1872 in Moscow , † August 17, 1930 in Gagra ) was a Russian chemist.

Schilow studied chemistry at Lomonossow University from 1890 to 1895 and then went to Heidelberg and Leipzig (with Wilhelm Ostwald ) for further studies . In 1901 he received his habilitation and became a lecturer at Lomonossow University, but was again in Leipzig from 1902 to 1904. In 1910 he became a professor at the Moscow Polytechnic and also taught at the industrial institute. He set up his physical chemistry laboratory with equipment from Manchester (through contacts with Ernest Rutherford ) and Paris (contacts with Marie Curie ).

During the First World War, he worked with Nikolai Dmitrijewitsch Selinsky on protection from military poison gases (gas masks, etc.). He also dealt with absorption in coal and set up absorption series for electrolytes analogous to the electrolytic voltage series.

He dealt with the kinetics of chemical reactions and especially oxidation reactions.

Later he dealt with the physico-chemical aspects of arteriosclerosis .
