trimembered cyclic hydrocarbons with a double bond in the side 

 chain (vinylcyclopropane) or in the aromatic nucleus (phenyl- 

 cyclopropane). With G. S. Landsberg, he developed a method 

 for detailed study of petroleum, using Raman spectra. 



In 1961 Kazanskii was awarded the Order of Lenin and two 

 orders of the Red Banner of Labor. He was also a member of 

 the steering Committee of International Union on Pure and 

 Applied Chemistry.

KAZARNOVSKII, ISAAK ABRAMOVICH (Chemist) 



I. A. Kazarnovskii was born September 29, 1890. He gradu- 

 ated in 1914 from Zurich University. In 1922 he began working 

 at the Karpov Physico- Chemical Institute in Moscow. He has 

 been a Corresponding Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of 

 Sciences since 1939. In 1941 he was awarded a Stalin Prize. 

 Kazarnovskii' s main work deals with problems in the for- 

 mation of metal chlorides and peroxides. He discovered new, 

 higher oxides such as the peroxide of sodium Na02, 1936, and 

 the ozonides of alkali metals such as ozonide of potassium KO3 

 and elucidated their structure; he worked out methods of pro- 

 ducing sodium peroxide, anhydrous aluminum chloride from
