Prof. Igor B. Sivaev was born in 1964 in Kivertsy (Volyn region,
Ukraine). After graduating from the Mendeleev Moscow Institute of Chemical
Technology (1987) as a Chemical Engineer, he started his study of boron hydride
chemistry at the Kurnakov Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry, Russian
Academy of Sciences, under the guidance of Prof. Nikolai Kuznetsov. Later, he
obtained his Ph.D. at the Department of Organic Chemistry at Uppsala
University under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Sjöberg (2000) and joined
Prof. Vladimir Bregadze’s group at Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement
Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2014, Prof. Igor
B. Sivaev received a Doctorate in Chemical Sciences (habilitation) at the
Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds, Russian Academy of Sciences.
Currently, he is a Leading Researcher (Research Professor) at this
institute. The area of his scientific interests is the chemistry and
application of polyhedral boron hydrides, including boranes, carboranes, and
metallacarboranes. He was a member of the Scientific Committees of the 7th
European Conference on Boron Chemistry (Suzdal, 2016) and International
Conferences on phosphorus, boron, and silicon (Paris, 2017; Barcelona, 2018;
Poma, 2019), and currently, he is a Member of the Advisory Board of the International
Meetings on Boron Chemistry (from 2017).
