D. Batîr/Chem.J.Mold. 2008, 3 (1), 129-132currently represent the blvian School of Coordination Chemistry r the fifth generation of rsearchers starting fromAlfred Werner.We n certainly affirm today that the Ablovian School is long-living n, it will b lasted for ages; and theprincipal component of this veritable school is manifested through the formative virtue. It n b compared with thefireworks, when each sparkle exploded in the sky generates shaft of sparkling lights, which in the case of professorAntonie blv r the research schools with his followers and followers, which have exceeded the borders of theRepublic of Moldov making roots in other centers of coorcdination chemistry throughout the world.Antonie bl published mr than 760 peer-reviewed papers, he has educated 75 doctors and hability doctors,among them heads of leading research schools in the new areas of coordination chemistry, sush as crystallochemistry,quantum chemistry, magnetochemistry, radiospectroscopy, biotechnology, super-molecular chemistry, polynuclearsystems, etc. has promoted n interdisciplinary research, thus exceeding the borders between chemistry, biology,physics and mathematics, which had significant impact n medicine, agriculture and technology. In his researchAntonie blv have synthesized fantastic molecular designs, as it could b done b n architect in coordinationcompounds. Due to the immense imagination, which he proved to have, he has discovered splendid objects of studyand knowledge, unique in their way, having applied the latest research methods in the r of physics and mathematics,having adapted, improved them, sometimes elaborating new laboratory methods and techniques.Antonie blv made marked input in the contemporary coordination chemistry. Through his tivity andcreativity as scientist, professor and public figure, he has contributed to our science, nm and spirituality with theprestigious achievements recognized and appreciated throughout the world.Leaving for eternityWith all he had foreseen and created, inexhaustible blv remains to b scientist whose heritage still has to bdiscovered.Our Grandmaster was n unsurpassed leader due to his knowledge, skills, ingenuity, initiative and deeds. His namehas always b associated with the word «the first»: the first Head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry, thefirst Dn of Chemical Faculty, the first Director of the Institue of Chemistry, the first Academician coordinating theappropriate section, etc. b the first was his lifestyle, this was an essence of his existence. And if today we have theprosperous Faculty of Chemistry and Chemical Technology, the rognized Institute of Chemistry and the School ofCoordination Chemistry - we owe all this to him, the unique Antonie blv.Academician Antonie blv was not only great chemist, but spirit whose soul was always occupied with thespiritual values - he was n expert in music, fine arts, subtle and knowledgeable theater-lv, passionate book lover andbook collector, the thinker deeply involved into the problems of philosophy and universal history, burning popularizerof science.Great people nv die, they go to immortality to illuminate the way of living people. The death brings with it,along with the infinite pain, also the hour of blming, when all the misery and vanity of everyday life is forgotten, andonly that remains belonging to eternity. The dead r n mr dead if living people revive them in their heart, their soul,their spirit, via their nbl deeds which add the light.n the date of September 13, 2004, the memorial plate « demician Antonie blv» was inaugurated at theInstitute of Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. At the unveiling of this memorial, I had the sense thatour grandmaster, Antonie blv, peared and was among us, and I could not help telling him, in the presence of theaudience, with the greatest emotion: «Welcome home, in the House which you have built, to the Institute of Chemistry,our dear preceptor!».At this vr time, the Prezident of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova set up the honorary stipend named afterAcademician Antonie blv, in the sum of ten thousands lei (830 USD), which is granted annually to the best doctorand(post graduate student) in chemistry.Love and respect of people, nrn for people full of tact, deli and charm, lucidity of mind and sense of justice,courageous behavior, absolute honesty and great passion to chemistry which was hand down to us b AcademicianAntonie blv carried today as torch illuminating the thoughts of the followers.Such person was Antonie blv, the man who have presented us with the essence of his soul, towards him wer directing today our grateful thoughts, being always thrilled and touched b the Shakespearean question: «And whenwill the other come, alike himself?».Dumitru BATÎRDr. hab. in chemistry University professorState Prize Laureat132
