Biography of carrots

In the year, he entered the law faculty of Kazan University and at the same time attended lectures on chemistry of Professor A. Butlerov, went through a workshop in his laboratory, and under the influence of which he decided to become a chemist. At the end of the university in the year, Vladimir was left as a laboratory assistant in a chemical laboratory, and then gradually engaged in teaching work.

Having received a master's degree in the year, in order to prepare for professorship, he went abroad for two years, where he worked in laboratories of famous European scientists. Returning to Russia, Markovnikov became an assistant professor at the Department of Chemistry of Kazan University. In the year, he was one of the organizers of the Russian Chemical Society and one of the active initiators of the publication of the chemical journal in Russian.

A year later, he defended his doctoral dissertation and worked as a professor first in Kazan and then Novorossiysk Universities. In the year, Vladimir received a professor at the Department of Chemistry of Moscow University, where he arranged the first large laboratory in Russia, adapted not only for the workshop, but also for scientific research. The result of the activity was over a hundred studies conducted under the leadership of Markovnikov and published in various scientific publications.

The pedagogical activity of the scientist who created the famous “Markovnikovskaya” school of chemists was extremely fruitful. He devoted a lot of time to working with students. Many of his students became famous world -famous scientists: I. Kablukov, V. Ogloblin, N. Kizhner and others. Markovnikov’s main scientific works are devoted to the development of the theory of the chemical structure, organic synthesis and petrochemistry.

His theoretical studies and experimental material played a huge role in the development of chemistry and confirmed the correctness of the theory of A. He opened the isomeria of fatty acids, and formulated the rules that are now known as the rules of Markovnikov. During the Russo-Turkish war, Vladimir Vasilievich organized the supply of disinfectant means of the Russian army, during the Vetlyansk plague published a “public leadership for disinfection”, and during the cholera epidemic produced about 50 tests of different varieties of Russian tar, in order to replace them with agricultural carbolic acid.

Since the beginning of the 10ths, Markovnikov has been studying Caucasian oil, in which he opened a new extensive class of compounds named Naphteni, for the first time studied the naphthyla.

He investigated the composition of oil, laying the foundations of petrochemistry as an independent science. For great merits in this area, Markovnikov was awarded a gold medal at the Paris Oil Congress also studied the Astrakhan salt lakes in order to use salts in industry, examined mineral waters in the Caucasus. The results of all his research were published in articles and works, he also issued a number of articles on economic issues, on the export of Russian oil to Western Europe, about contagious diseases and the plague in Moscow in the reign of Catherine II.

The scientist knew well the needs of the domestic chemical industry, fought for its development, tried to bring every discovery to practical application. Markovnikov’s works on the history of science are of great importance. Vladimir Vasilievich Markovnikov died on January 29 on February 11 in Moscow. Persons of the day of March 17: - Lukino Visconti Italian director and cinema director, screenwriter, one of the founders of neorealism.
