Biography
Irina Beletskaya is a professor of chemistry at Moscow State University, the head of the Organoelement Chemistry laboratory. Her interests are focused on organometallic chemistry and transition metal catalysis applied to organic synthesis. She developed some of the first methods for carbon-carbon bond formation using palladium or nickel catalysts, and extended these reactions to work in aqueous media. Irina Beletskaya is a Full Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a former president of the Division of Organic Chemistry of IUPAC, and Editor-in-chief of the Russian Journal of Organic Chemistry. She is a recipient of many national and international awards, including the State Prize (2004) and the IUPAC Distinguished Women in Chemistry award (2013).
