Vladimir Alexandrovich Tartakovsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wladimir Alexandrowitsch Tartakovsky ( Russian Владимир Александрович Тартаковский , English transcription Vladimir Tartakovsky; born August 10, 1932 in Moscow ) is a Russian chemist ( organic chemistry ).

Tartakowski studied chemistry at Lomonosov University with his degree in 1955 and was then director of the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, from 1988 to 2002.

He heads the Nitrogen Compounds Laboratory at the ND Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Tartakowski is considered a leading Russian expert on heterocycles and organic nitrogen compounds and industrial organic synthesis and on high-energy compounds (HEDM, High Energy Density Material, rocket fuel, explosives), for example TTTO. The substance consists of two tetrazine rings symmetrically connected to each other in a butterfly structure , two of the four nitrogen atoms in the tetrazine rings being oxidized with oxygen. The explosive properties exceed those of TNT, on the other hand it is more environmentally friendly because of the lower carbon content (avoidance of the formation of nitrosamines ) and it has good stability properties. The substance was previously investigated theoretically by Alexander M. Churakov. He also deals with the novel use of organic nitrogen compounds in organic synthesis ( e.g. for the synthesis of nitrones ).

In the 1970s, he and colleagues were the first to synthesize ammonium dinitramide (ADN), an oxidizing agent for rocket propellants and explosives.

In 1992 he became a full member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences , of which he was a corresponding member since 1987. In 1976 he received the Lenin Prize and in 1999 the Demidov Prize . In 2011 he received the Lomonosov Gold Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
