determined by the speed of reactions of free radicals whose 

 concentration is considerably greater than at equilibrium. In 

 the field of molecular structure, Kondrat'ev with aid of the 

 spectroscopic method, determined the heats of disassociation 

 and established a geometric structure of a series of molecules. 

 He also worked out an optical method for studying unstable con- 

 ditions of molecules and photo- chemical dissociation of mole- 

 cules. 



In 1961, Kondrat'ev was elected to the bureau, the executive 

 committee and editorial board of the International Union of 

 Pure and Applied Chemistry.
