- Course objectives
- At the end of this course, students should be able to understand the basic concepts and principles of supramolecular chemistry. Main topics of the course can be summarized as follows: to understand the basic intermolecular interactions; to learn about typical compounds important in study of recognition of ions and neutral molecules; to demonstrate the basic principles of the supramolecular chemistry on reactivity and catalysis, transport processes, self-assembly processes, liquid crystals, as well as on design of supramolecular devices.
