Prof. Oleg M. Nefedov

Prof. Oleg Matveyevich Nefedov was born in Dmitrov, Moscow Region, 25 November 1931. He is married with two children.

Education and Career: Prof. Nefedov graduated from the D. I. Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Engineering, Moscow, in 1954 and undertook graduate courses at the Mendeleev Institute of Chemical Technology, Moscow, between 1954 and 1957. In 1957, he became a candidate of sciences (Ph.D.) from the same institute, and in 1967 he became Doctor of Sciences (Organic Chemistry), N. D. Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow. From 1957 to 1968, Prof. Nefedov was a research scientist at the Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, Moscow. Between 1959 and 1960, he held a postdoctoral fellowship at Heidelburg University, Germany, in the laboratory of Prof. Georg Wittig, and from 1965 to 1966 he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Free University in Brussels, Belgium. Since 1971, he has been a visiting professor at Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA, USA. He has also held visiting professorships at Kyoto University in Japan (1976), at the University of Paris in Orsay, France (1981), and at Hamburg University in Germany (1984). In 1968, Prof. Nefedov was appointed Head of the Laboratory of Carbene and Small-Ring Chemistry, Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, and Professor of Chemistry, Zelinsky Institute. In 1987, after serving as a corresponding member for eight years, Prof. Nefedov was made a full member (academician) of the USSR Academy of Sciences, subsequently the Russian Academy of Sciences. He became Vice President of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now Russian Academy of Sciences) in 1988. From 1988 to 1991, he served as Academician-Secretary (Head) of the Division of General and Technical Chemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Since 1990, Prof. Nefedov has been Chairman of the Russian Academy of Sciences Higher Chemical College, and since 1996 he has served as Chairman of the National Committee of Russian Chemists. From 1992 to the present, Prof. Nefedov has been Supervisor of the National Scientific Technical Program "Ecologically Safe and Resource-Saving Processes of Chemistry and Chemical Technology". Prof. Nefedov is editor-in-chief of a number of journals, namely, Mendeleev Communications (since 1990), Russian Chemical Bulletin (Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.Seriya Khimicheskaya, since 1991), and the Russian Chemical Reviews (Uspekhi khimii, since 1995). Prof. Nefedov is an organic chemist with special interests in physical organic chemistry, small-ring chemistry, organic synthesis, and organometallic chemistry. He has authored numerous scientific papers and books on organic and physical chemistry, chemical aspects of ecology, and social problems of science.

Honorary Degrees and Fellowships: Fellow of the Collegium Ramazzini, Bologna, Italy (1990-present); Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry, London, UK (1991-present); Member of the Academia Europaea, London, UK (1991-present); Member of the Academia Scientiarum et Artium Europaea, Salzburg, Austria (1991-present); Foreign Member of the Georgia Academy of Sciences (1996-present); Member of the Asia-Pacific Academy of Materials (APAM), Bangalore, India (1997-present).

Awards: USSR State Prize, Moscow, 1983 and 1990; Zelinsky Prize, Moscow, 1987; Prize of the USSR and Hungarian Academies of Sciences, Moscow, 1988; Semenov Prize, Moscow, 1991; Karpinsky Hamburg, 1993; and D. I. Mendeleev Gold Medal, Moscow, 1998.

IUPAC Offices and Assignments: Titular Member of the Commission on Physical Organic Chemistry (III.2), 1981-91, and Associate Member of the Commission on Physical Organic Chemistry, 1991-93. From 1981 on, Prof. Nefedov has regularly participated in all IUPAC General Assemblies. He also takes part in many IUPAC and other international conferences on organic chemistry, physical organic chemistry, organosilicon chemistry, and organometallic chemistry as a plenary or invited lecturer and as a member of international advisory committees.
