Viktor Nikolaevich Kondratiev
Viktor Nikolayevich Kondratyev ( Russian Виктор Николаевич Кондратьев , English transcription Victor Kondratiev ; born January 19 . Jul / 1. February 1902 greg. In Rybinsk , † 22. February 1979 in Astrakhan ) was a Russian chemist ( Physical Chemistry ).
Life
Kondratiev studied at the Polytechnic Institute in Petrograd and soon began research work at the invitation of Nikolai Semjonow (like his fellow student Juli Borissowitsch Chariton ) in the chemical department of the Physikalisch-Technische Institut (later the Joffe Institute ). He graduated in 1924, was then assistant and from 1934 professor at the Institute for Chemical Physics of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in Moscow, which was newly founded in 1931. There he headed the laboratory for elementary processes and became deputy director of the institute in 1948.
He dealt with reactions in the gas phase and the chemistry of combustion. He began with the spectroscopic study of gas flames and thereby confirmed some early theories of chain reactions and later measured systematically reaction rates in the gas phase with colleagues. In 1967 he received the August Wilhelm von Hofmann medal . In 1946 he received the State Prize of the USSR and in 1966 the Bernard Lewis Gold Medal.
He was also a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.
