Scientists from the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Josipa Sarjanović, Edi Topić, Mirta Rubčić and Jana Pisk, in collaboration with the scientists of the Ruđer Bošković Institute, Marta Razum and Luka Pavić, and IUT Paul Sabatier, University of Toulouse, Dominique Agustin, together with the former student of the Department of Chemistry, Mateja Cader, published a research paper entitled Bifunctional molybdenum and vanadium materials: semiconductor properties for advanced electronics and catalytic efficiency in the oxidation of linalool, in the respected scientific journal RSC Materials Advances (IF 5,2).
The paper describes the results of research into the electrical properties of prepared molybdenum complexes with acyl-hydrazone derivatives. The impedance spectroscopy was used to investigate the electrical conductivity of the tested materials which were correlated with temperature-dependent structural changes. The polynuclear molybdenum complex showed excellent conductivity of 10‒8 (Ω cm)‒1 at room temperature. The obtained results were compared with previous research on vanadium coordination complexes. The catalytic activity of the prepared complexes in linalool oxidation reactions was tested as well, which emphasised the dual function of the obtained materials. The research was carried out as part of the Cogito project called Sustainable polyesters using Mo and V catalysts (No. 49260RA) and as part of the CNRS project (SoSoPro).
