This communication is devoted to the 85th anniversary of the birthday of Professor V.I. Suprunovich who worked more than 50 years at the Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology. Victoria Suprunovich is a well-known analyst. She has made a great contribution to the development of electrochemical methods for the analysis of the 47 metal ions of 29 chemical elements. The developed methods were based on complexation reactions between the metal ions and S- and N-containing organic reagents such as 8-mercaptoquinoline, tetra ethyl ammonium naftalin ditiokarboksylat, dalzin, unitiol, vismutol et al. The communication describes the main stages of the life, educational and research activities of V.I. Suprunovich. The main scientific achievements of Professor V.I. Suprunovich and her scientific school were considered. Her scientific heritage includes more than 300 scientific articles and several monographs and tutorials. More than 60 algorithms of methods for the analysis of a variety of industrial and natural materials have been developed, including rapid and selective methods for determining the individual components of the combinations of metals in various oxidation states, a comprehensive analysis of a variety of analytical facilities. By means of X-ray analysis, thermography, polarographic and spectral methods, the identification of the chemical and analytical properties of more than 100 new coordination compounds of 8-mercaptoquinoline has been performed. Prof. Suprunovich proposed new analytical forms to analyze steels, alloys, coatings, solders, enamel frit, ores, fireclay refractory, and jewelry alloys. Under the leadership of Prof. V.I. Suprunovich, a scientific school has been created and fifteen PhD theses have been defended. For active teaching and fruitful scientific works, Professor V.I. Suprunovich was repeatedly presented with diplomas and honorable distinctions, including the medal "For Valorous Work". The researches in the field of electrochemical analysis methods are still continued at the Analytical Chemistry Department of the Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology. The staff of the Department remembers and reveres Prof. V.I. Suprunovich memory.
