Victor Kravtsov

Victor Kravtsov is an Associate Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Physical Methods of Solid State Investigation 'Tadeusz Malinowski' at the Institute of Applied Physics (IFA) in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. His research focuses on coordination chemistry, materials science, and magnetic materials. He leads projects involving the synthesis and characterization of heterometallic clusters, coordination polymers, and functional materials with biomedical and optoelectronic applications.

Key research areas include:

• Crystal engineering of metal-organic frameworks
• Magnetic properties of transition metal complexes
• Development of stimuli-responsive materials
• Anticancer and antibacterial coordination compounds
• Structural analysis of novel inorganic-organic hybrids

He coordinates national and international research projects such as FP7-ICT 608899 and H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017-777968. His work bridges fundamental chemistry with practical applications in drug delivery, energy materials, and biomedical devices.

Recent studies emphasize discovery of multi-component supramolecular systems, hexaamminecobalt complexes with pharmaceutical potential, and heterometallic clusters showing single-molecule magnet behavior. His team also focuses on crystal engineering strategies to control material properties through ligand design and synthesis conditions.
