Vladimir Anatolievich Dyakonov PhD

Vladimir A. D’yakonov was born in 1980 in Yakutia, Siberia, Russia. He graduated from the Ufa State Petroleum Technical University (Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia, 2002) with an honours diploma. He received his Candidate (PhD) (2005) and Doctor of Science, Chemistry (2012) degrees from the Institute of Petrochemistry and Catalysis of Russian Academy of Sciences under the guidance of the Corresponding Member of RAS, professor Usein M. Dzhemilev. Since 2018, V.A. D’yakonov is the director of the Institute of Petrochemistry and Catalysis of Russian Academy of Sciences.

His main scientific interests are in the field of metal complex catalysis in organic and organometallic synthesis, total synthesis of natural compounds, medicinal chemistry, chemistry and stereochemistry of the strained and cage compounds, organic chemistry of nontransition metals (Mg, Al, Zn, Ga, In) as well as chemistry of small, low-stable and highly strained molecules, including the development of new catalytic synthetic methods based on transformations of strained molecules and metallacarbocycles, and the elaboration of simple (“one-pot”) ways for the preparation of various carbo-, hetero- and macrocyclic compounds.
