SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY is one of the most important innovations in inorganic/organic chemistry. Classical chemistry is based on the concept of covalent bonds which hold together the millions of currently known compounds. On the other hand, there are many processes in the Nature (e.g. enzyme-substrate interaction, immune response, complex formation, DNA replication etc.) which are enabled by the existence of intermolecular recognition based on the non-covalent interactions. These interactions, albeit much weaker that the covalent bonds, are responsible for reversibility of living processes in organisms, which is a fundamental prerequisite for function of living matter. As the direct study of non-covalent interactions in living organisms is too complicated, many simpler systems have been developed to mimic the biological functions on synthetic models. SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY is highly interdisciplinary science dealing with study of basic principles of non-covalent interactions and their use in the design of artificial molecules capable of some function on molecular level - selective complexation, construction of receptors, self-assembly, molecular recognition etc.
Aim of the course -
Last update: Kubová Petra Ing. (01.11.2019)

Students will be able to:

design the structure of artificial receptor for the complexation of cation or anion

select suitable analytical method for the study of the structure of the complex

suggest suitable analytical/spectroscopic methods for the measuring of the complexation constants and thermodynamic parameters for selected host-guest processes

apply the principals of "self-assembly" for the synthesis of topological isomers

use the principals of supramolecular chemistry in the advanced organic synthesis
