Hours of instruction:

Weekly: four hours of lectures + six hours of labwork (4+0+6)

Goals:

The main goal of this course is to introduce students to: the basic types of supramolecular organization; basic intermolecular interactions which lead to supramolecular organization; basic types of molecular devices based on supramolecular organization; the application of instrumental techniques in the analysis of supramolecular aggregates.

Outcome:

Upon completing this course, students will be able to independently design simple supramolecular aggregates and determine the area of their application.

Teaching methods:

Theoretical (lectures, term papers, projects) and experimental (laboratory classes and laboratory projects).
