Alexander E. Shilov (Template:Lang-ru) (January 1, 1930 – June 6, 2014) was a Russian chemist.[1]
Shilov was born in Ivanovo, Russia, studied Chemistry in Kiev and received his diploma degee in 1952 from Kiev State University. In 1952-1955 he began working with Nobel Laureate Nikolay Semyonov toward his Ph.D. at the Academy of Sciences in Moscow. After postdoctoral studies with Sir Cyril Norman Hinshelwood at Oxford University in London, he returned to the Institute of Biochemical Physics (Moscow), where he became Director and Professor at Moscow State University. In 1952 he moved to Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences in Chernogolovka (Moscow district), where he became the Head of Laboratory. [2]
In the late 1960s, he discovered what is considered to be the first reported example of an alkane reaction by a homogeneous catalytic system, the Pt-catalyzed CH activation of alkanes[3] and first provided mechanism supported by kinetic analysis,[4] known as the Shilov system.[5] In 1990 he received the Academian of Scienсes. In addition to his pioneering work in the activation and functionalization of hydrocarbons, his interests encompassed dinitrogen reduction to ammonia in aqueous media with the use of organometallic complexes.[6]
His work has been published in more than 300 papers and cover research in chemical kinetics and catalysis, mechanisms of chemical reactions, chemical modeling of enzyme systems.
