Supramolecular Chemistry
Supramolecular Chemistry (Summer Semester)
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.
