BRODSKY (BRQDSKII), ALEKSANDR IL^ICH (Physical 

 Chemist) 

 A. I. Brodsky was born June 19, 1895. He graduated from 

 Moscow University. Since 1938 he has been Director of the 

 Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Ukrainian S.S.R. Academy 

 of Sciences. Brodsky has been an Academician of the Ukrainian 

 S.S.R. Academy of Sciences since 1939 and since 1943 a Corre- 

 sponding Member of the U. S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. In 1946 

 he was awarded a State Prize. He was elected, in 1962, Honor- 

 able Member of the Polish Chemical Society. 



Brodsky investigated the influence of solvents on chemical 

 equilibrium, on electrode potentials, and on optical properties 

 of solutions. He pioneered and organized (from 1934) investi- 

 gations on chemical reactions using isotopes. He studied iso- 

 tope exchange reactions, and the isotope composition of natural 

 waters and rocks. Since 1939 he has investigated the mecha- 

 nisms of organic and exchange reactions.
