Description: 
The Turkmen Academy's Institute of Chemistry, with a petroleum 
and gas laboratory, was opened in 1957. The research here was to cover 
problems of the production of synthetic fatty acids and aliphatic 
alcohols of high molecular weight from paraffins of local petroleum, and 
the use of salt resources and supplies of boron, bromine, and iodine in 
the various bodies of water. Most of the research reported has been in the 
area of petroleum chemistry.

Description: 
This institute, founded in 1949, specializes in organic polymer 
chemistry and the electrometallurgy of the light metals. In connection with 
the polymer work, carbonyls, unsaturated hydrocarbons, and pyridines have 
been studied, as have vinyl acetylene, piperylene, isoprene, organosilicon 
compounds, isobutylene, and polyethinylpolyarenes. The laboratory of 
I. L. Kotlyarevskiy, while studying polyphenyl hydrocarbons, developed a 
polyphenylpolyacetylene polymer with semiconductor properties. 
The Institute grants the Candidate's Degree.
