Prehistory: Ivan A. Kablukov

Ivan Alekseyevich Kablukov (1857-1942) graduated from Moscow University in 1880 and worked with Ostwald in Leipzig for some period starting from 1889. His findings related to ‘anomalous conductivity’ of electrolyte solutions resulted in his 1981 Doctoral thesis. He was an active supporter of Arrhenius and Ostwald in their development of the concept of electrolytic dissociation (aggressively attacked by Mendeleev).

Kablukov’s text “In memoriam D.I. Mendeleeff” in Acta Physicochim. URSS. 1934. V. 1. P. 3-11 avoids the discussion of these contradictions and mostly accents the “periodic law”. The account of Mendeleev’s contribution to the solution studies is limited to his consideration of water-alcohol mixtures.

Professor of Moscow University from 1902.

His diploma student (1922) was Aleksanr Il’ich Brodsky (1895-1969), known for his studies of non-aqueous solutions in Dnepropetrovsk, close to L.V. Pisarzhevskyi, … later known for isotopes separation.

Another Kablukov’s graduate (1929) known for his works in various fields of physical chemistry was Anatolyi Fedorovich Kapustinskyi (1906-1960). L.I. Krishtalik started his research work with Kapustinskyi.
