Learning Objectives

Course Objectives:
The course provides a comprehensive introduction to modern supramolecular chemistry and (bio)nanostructures.
It is aimed to provide an understanding on the principles of supramolecular chemistry and the interactions governing the formation of assemblies.
Fundamental forces for the assembly of host-guest systems and functional supramolecular devices are analyzed using examples from Nature and current scientific literature.
Important design principles of supramolecular systems are being discussed together with their properties and functions.

Learning Objectives:
The course aims to provide:
- Knowledge on basic definitions and concepts in supramolecular chemistry.
- An overview of fundamental interactions governing self-assembly and their application in living organisms and synthetic nanostructures.
- Insight of the new trends in designing supramolecular complexes and devices.
