Vladimir Nikolayevich Ipatieff, also Ipatyev (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Ипатьев; 21 November [O.S. 9 November] 1867 – 29 November 1952) was a Russian and American chemist. His most important contributions are in the field of petroleum chemistry and catalysts.[2]
Life and career
Born in
He was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1916.Although Ipatieff's political sympathies were with the
In the US, Ipatieff secured a research-focused chemistry professorship at
He and his students made significant contributions to organic synthesis and petroleum refining. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the modern petroleum chemistry in the US.
Vladimir Ipatieff had three sons: Dmitry, Nikolai and Vladimir. Dmitry died in World War I. Nikolai was a member of the White movement, emigrated after the end of Russian Civil War and died in Africa testing a treatment he had invented for yellow fever. Vladimir Vladimirovich Ipatieff, also a talented chemist, remained in the USSR and was punitively arrested after the defection of his father. While living in the USA, the Ipatieffs also adopted two Russian girls.
Ipatieff died suddenly in Chicago in 1952. He held over 200 patents and published over 300 research papers.[3]
Ipatieff Prize
The American Chemical Society received a large endowment owing to UOP and eventually in turn established an award called the Ipatieff Prize. Awarded every three years, the Ipatieff Prize honors outstanding experimental work in the field of catalysis or high-pressure chemistry by researchers under the age of 40.[6]
