Vadim I. Nefedov

Genus. 29.VI.1937 g. D. x. n. Professor. Academician of the Academy of Natural Sciences (31.VIII.1990). Corresponding Member. RAS. Specializes in the study of structure and chemical bonding in inorganic compounds. Head of the Laboratory Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry. Developed the theory of transfer of electron density between the ligands and predicted the existence of cis-effect in compounds of non-transition elements. Reveal regularities in the distribution of electron density in the structure of the valence levels and established series of donor-acceptor ligand. Theoretically substantiated and experimentally proved the connection of these series with a number of mutual influence of ligands. A method for determining the effective charge of the atom in the compound and the Madelung potential. He studied the degradation of high-temperature superconductors with various physical and chemical effects. A method of quantitative X-ray analysis of solid surfaces. The results of his research have allowed to solve large application problems associated with the element base of modern electronics. Chairman of the Scientific Council of RAS on Inorganic Chemistry. By opening. State Prize of the USSR and RSFSR.
