We sadly note the passing of Igor Pletnev (November 10, 2021)
Igor Pletnev was the developer and caretaker of the InChI software algorithm for 15 years, first at NIST and then at the InChI Trust. Over the years Igor made great contributions to the InChI project. His knowledge of both chemistry and computer programming made him a unique person to carry out all these tasks while interacting with chemists around the world on an almost daily basis. While there were many demands on his work efforts with the InChI algorithm, Igor always was calm and friendly to all, a true professional at all times. He will be missed and dearly remembered for all of his outstanding work by all of us at InChI Trust and the global community of InChI developers and users.
