His main works were devoted to the study of unsaturated hydrocarbons. In 1881 he discovered a method for hydrating compounds of the acetylene series in the presence of mercuric salts, which earned him the prize of the Russian Physicochemical Society in 1885. In 1915 the society instituted the Kucherov Prize, which is awarded to beginning researchers in chemistry.
