Biography
Pavel N. D’yachkov was born in Saint Petersburg (the former Leningrad) in December 1947. He studied in the Chemistry Department of Moscow University and Leningrad State University. He graduated from the Quantum Chemistry Group founded by V. A. Fock. Presently, he is Professor of Physical Chemistry and leading investigator at Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow. His interests are the quantum chemistry of nanomaterials and coordination compounds and modeling of the toxic and carcinogenic effects of environmental pollutants. Author of several books including Heteroligand Molecules: Structure, Isomers, Transformations (Taylor and Francis, London and New York, 2002) written with his teacher Alexander A. Levin.
