BOKII, GEQRGII BQRISOVICH (Crystallographer Chemist) 



G. B. Bokii was born September 26, 1909. He graduated in 

 1930 from the Leningrad Mining Institute and began working at 

 the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry of the U.S.S.R. 

 Academy of Sciences. In 1939 he joined the teaching staff of 

 Moscow University and in 1944 was made professor. Bokii has 

 been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union 

 since 1944. In 1958 he was elected a Corresponding Member of 

 the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. He was awarded two Orders 

 of the Badge of Honor and also medals. 



Bokii has used crystallographic methods for study of com- 

 plex compounds. Together with S. S. Batsanov he developed a 

 crystallo- optic method of determining the structure of complex 

 compounds. For this work he was awarded (in 1954) the Prize 

 of the Presidium of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. Bokii 

 proposed a method of quantitatively determining the values of 

 trans -influence in measuring interatomic distances in crystals 

 of complex compounds. This was reported at the International 

 Congress on Crystallography in 1957 in Canada. He worked out 

 an atomic structure theory of daltonides and berthoUides (1956).
