Supramolecular Chemistry (not taught at the moment)

The objectives of this course are

– developing a profound understanding of noncovalent bonding interactions

– becoming prolific in the most important synthetic methods applied in supramolecular systems.

We further cover analytical methods to characterize supramolecular assemblies in solution and larger self-assembled systems.
