Introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry 1200-3MON7L
The course An Introduction to Supramolecular Chemistry gives an introduction to basic as well as more specific issues related to the chemistry of intermolecular interactions (supramolecular chemistry). Topics presented during this course are exemplified by a biotic as well as abiotic supramolecular systems. Lecture Topics:
Intermolecular forces in biology
Nature of supramolecular interactions
Supramolecular concepts and design
Methods of supromolecules characterization.
Macrocyclic compounds as cation receptors (crown ethers, cryptands, calixarenes)
Charged and neutral anion receptors (cyclic and acyclic)
Supramolecular chemosensors-basic concepts and applications
Ion pair and neutral molecules receptors
Self-assembling systems, from biotic to abiotic systems
Molecular machines, structure, mode of actions, applications
Main fields of studies for MISMaP
