Supramolecular Chemistry

Graduate

Supramolecular chemistry can be defined as the study of chemical systems involving aggregates of molecules or ions held together by non-covalent interactions. This course will survey the concepts, major research areas and applications of modern supramolecular chemistry including intermolecular interactions, molecular recognition, supramolecular devices, self-assembly, supramolecular materials, molecular topology, biomimetic systems and molecular machines. (2 lecture hours a week.) (Cross listed with CHEM-4528)
