A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds

What A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds does

The A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds (INEOS RAS) is a federal state budgetary institution of science under the Russian Academy of Sciences, founded in 1954 and headquartered in Moscow. The institute specializes in organoelement chemistry, polymer science, organometallic chemistry, and physical chemistry research, operating through more than a dozen specialized laboratories organized into four core departments: Organometallic, Organoelement, Macromolecular (polymers), and Physical Chemistry, plus supporting scientific units. INEOS employs 501-1000 staff and is structured as both a basic research institution and a provider of commercial analytical services to external researchers and industrial partners.

INEOS's core technology portfolio centers on one of the world's most efficient X-ray structural laboratories (the X-Ray Structural Centre, XRSC), advanced quantum crystallography methods combining single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction with DFT/ab initio calculations, comprehensive organic elemental microanalysis for organoelement compounds including carboranes, fullerenes, and clusters, FTIR/Raman/UV-vis molecular spectroscopy, and high-field NMR spectroscopy. The institute is also the official Cambridge Structural Database distribution center for Russia and former USSR countries, currently serving 55 institutions. Output is documented in over 80 Russian and foreign patents in polymer methodology and an extensive peer-reviewed publication record.

INEOS operates a hybrid revenue model combining federal state budget funding (as a RAS institution), competitive grants from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF), Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), and international sources including the German Research Foundation (DFG), with commercial revenue from paid analytical services such as X-ray structural analysis (first structure offered free, rapid turnaround), microanalysis, spectroscopy, and specialized synthesis. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct contact, the institutional website, and mail-in sample submissions for international clients, supported by scientific publications, conferences (Vesnyanka annual conference, Nesmeyanov seminars), and the INEOS Open and Fluorine Notes journals. The institute also runs postgraduate training (14 annual budget places) and partners with MIPT on teaching.

Core offering

INEOS RAS is a federal state research institute conducting fundamental and applied research in organoelement chemistry, polymer science, and organometallic chemistry. It provides paid analytical services through specialized laboratories including X-ray structural analysis, organic elemental microanalysis, NMR spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, and custom synthesis of chemical compounds. The institute also serves as the Cambridge Structural Database distribution centre for Russia and former USSR countries.

Product overview

The A.N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds (INEOS RAS) is a federal state budget research institution of the Russian Academy of Sciences specializing in organoelement chemistry and polymer science. Rather than a commercial software product, INEOS RAS operates as a research services institution offering specialized analytical and synthesis capabilities through five core laboratory units: the X-Ray Structural Centre (XRSC), Laboratory for Microanalysis (LMA), Laboratory for Polymer Structural Research, Laboratory for Filled Polymer Systems, and Laboratory for Homolytic Reactions of Organoelement Compounds. These laboratories provide commercial and academic clients with access to sophisticated analytical equipment and highly skilled researchers for physical analysis methods, chemical analysis, and synthesis of various chemical substances. The institute also distributes the Cambridge Structural Database to institutions across Russia and former USSR countries.
