The
Institute was founded in 1946. A large contribution to its development was
rendered by the Professors of the Chemical Department of the University of
Latvia as well as by the specialists of industrial branches: A.Ievins
(Director from 1946 to 1953 and from 1959 to 1962), L.Liepina, A.Kesans,
G.Vanags, K.Karlsons and A.Vaivads. In the following years the research
work is conducted by their students and fellow members dealing with the
theoretical and practical problems of current interest in the fields of
inorganic chemistry and technology (T.Millers, Full member of LAS,
Director from 1984 to 1997; O.Kukurs, Z.Konstants, J.Grabis, Director
since 1997), physical chemistry and electrochemistry (B.Purins, Director from 1962 to 1984, L.Maijs, V.Kadeka, A.Lokenbaha,
I.Vitina and H.Krasts), analytical chemistry and chemistry of coordination
compounds, as well as in environmental protection (J.Bankovskis,
A.Sturis, J.Svarca).
In
1998 the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the Latvian Academy of
Science was reorganized and incorporated in the Riga Technical University
as an juridically independent structural unit. Designation of the
Institute after reorganization is: Institute of Inorganic Chemistry of the
Riga Technical University.
The Institute is associated with the Latvian
Academy of Science.
