Ilya Ilich Chernyaev
Ilya Ilich Chernyaev (21 January 1893 – 30 September 1966) was a Russian and Soviet chemist who worked on inorganic chemistry and identified what is termed in coordination chemistry as the trans effect. He was a specialist on the refining of rhodium, palladium, platinum and other precious metals. Chernyaev was born in Spasskoye in a farming family. After studying at the Vologda gymnasium and passing with a gold medal in 1911 he joined St Petersburg University where he became a student of Lev Aleksandrovich Chugaev and graduated in 1915. After 1917 he worked under the Commission for the Study of Russian Natural Productive Sources, studying industrial chemistry and dealt with the processing of precious metals. He studied the chemistry of platinum compounds and is credited with the term "trans effect" that he coined in 1926. He noted that in square planar complexes of platinum, specific ligand groups directed the formation of cis or trans compounds in reactions. Platinum compounds ar ...

Trans Effect
In inorganic chemistry, the trans effect is the increased lability of ligands that are trans to certain other ligands, which can thus be regarded as trans-directing ligands. It is attributed to electronic effects and it is most notable in square planar complexes, although it can also be observed for octahedral complexes.Coe, B. J.; Glenwright, S. J. Trans-effects in octahedral transition metal complexes. ''Coordination Chemistry Reviews'' 2000, ''203'', 5-80. The analogous cis effect is most often observed in octahedral transition metal complexes. In addition to this ''kinetic trans effect'', trans ligands also have an influence on the ground state of the molecule, the most notable ones being bond lengths and stability. Some authors prefer the term trans influence to distinguish it from the kinetic effect, while others use more specific terms such as structural trans effect or thermodynamic trans effect. The discovery of the trans effect is attributed to Ilya Ilich Chernyaev, who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saint Petersburg State University
Saint Petersburg State University (SPBU; russian: Санкт-Петербургский государственный университет) is a public research university in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Founded in 1724 by a decree of Peter the Great, the university from the beginning has had a focus on fundamental research in science, engineering and humanities. During the Soviet period, it was known as Leningrad State University (russian: Ленинградский государственный университет). It was renamed after Andrei Zhdanov in 1948 and was officially called "Leningrad State University, named after A. A. Zhdanov and decorated with the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour." Zhdanov's was removed in 1989 and Leningrad in the name was officially replaced with Saint Petersburg in 1992. It is made up of 24 specialized faculties (departments) and institutes, the Academic Gymnasium, the Medical College, the College of Physical Culture ...

Lev Chugaev
Lev Aleksandrovich Chugaev (16 October 1873 – 26 September 1922) was a Russian chemist. At the height of his career, he was professor of chemistry at the University of Petersburg, being the successor to Dmitri Mendeleev. He was active in the fields of inorganic chemistry, especially platinum group Complex (chemistry), complexes, as well as organic chemistry. He is also known as Leo Aleksandrovich Tschugaeff or Tschugaev. Contributions to coordination chemistry Chugaev discovered that dimethylglyoxime forms a scarlet solid upon reaction with nickel(II) ions. This reaction was one of the first "spot tests" for a metal ion. An adherent to the theories of Alfred Werner, Chugaev made several contributions to the chemistry of platinum. The salt [Pt(NH3)5Cl]Cl3 containing the chloropentammineplatinum(IV) ion, is called "Chugaev's salt". Other complexes prepared in his laboratory include [Pt(Diethyl sulfide, SEt2)4][PtCl4], [Pt(NH3)5OH]Cl3, [Os(thiourea, SC(NH2)2)6]Cl3.H2O. Chugae ...
