Anatoly Babko (15 October 1905 in Sudzhenskoye, Tomsk Governorate – 7 January 1968) was a famous Ukrainian chemist, specializing in analytical chemistry and in the chemistry of complex compounds.[1]
Babko was a student of Professor N. Tananaev, a Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian Soviet Republic (since 1957), and an Honoured Science Worker of the Ukrainian SSR (after 1966). In 1939, he organized the research department at the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the Ukrainian SSR, and managed it until the end of his life. In 1943 he was appointed to a professorship, and in 1944 became the Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Kiev.[2]
Babko's main works are devoted to the physical chemistry of complex compounds and their use in analytical chemistry as well as photometric and fluorescence methods of analysis.[3]
He published more than 450 scientific works and 9 books that have been translated into several languages.
Biography
He was born on October 15, 1905 in the village of Sudzhenskoye, Tomsk Province (now the Kemerovo Region of the Russian Federation).
He graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute (1927). From 1928 he studied in graduate school under the guidance of a famous chemist-analyst professor [[Tananaev Nikolai Alexandrovich; (Tananaeva). Head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry of the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1941-1968), Professor. From 1944 he was also the head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Kyiv.
He was a member of the CPSU since 1940.
He died on January 7, 1968.
Research activities
Scientific research is devoted to the problems of chemistry of complex compounds, theory and practice of chemical analysis. He studied the equilibrium state of complex compounds in solutions. He substantiated the general provisions of step dissociation in solutions. He developed a method for determining the composition of complexes contained in the solution. Of great practical importance are his studies in the field of ternary complexes formed in the system of metal ion - ligand - organic base, as well as the study of catalytic reactions.
