Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course will focus on the fundamental concepts of supramolecular chemistry by describing intermolecular interactions, analytical methods for intermolecular interactions, host-guest chemistry, and functions of supramolecular structures.
[Aim of the course] Supramolecular chemistry, the chemistry of molecular assemblies formed by non-covalent intermolecular interactions, is now one of the most important disciplines across a range of areas from biological chemistry to materials science. The aim of this course is to facilitate students' understanding of the basis of supramolecular chemistry as well as the design concepts of supramolecular structures.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain various intermolecular interactions. 2) Explain host-guest chemistry. 3) Design supramolecular structures.

Keywords

Supramolecular chemistry, Intermolecular interaction, Host-guest chemistry

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

This course will proceed in the following order: (1) intermolecular interactions, (2) analytical methods for intermolecular interactions, (3) host-guest chemistry, and (4) design of supramolecular structures. Students' understanding will be confirmed by question-and-answer in each topic.
