Course detail
Supramolecular Chemistry
FCH-MCO_SKOAcad. year: 2020/2021
The course is divided into three blocks. The first block focuses on the general basics and theoretical background of supramolecular chemistry, concepts and terminology and on the key intermolecular interactions. In the second block, supramolecular chemistry of living organisms is illustrated on representative natural systems. Besides, most important synthetic supramolecular systems are introduced. Final block summarizes analythical methods, utilized in supramolecular chemistry, and concepts of supramolecular design.
analytical methods, theory of supramolecular design, supramolecular devices.
