Annotation -
Supramolecular chemistry is a multidisciplinary discipline dealing with the study of noncovalent interactions and their application in the design and synthesis of molecular systems possessing defined properties and functions (nanomachinery). It combines the knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry with other chemical branches, such as inorganic, physical, analytical and theoretical chemistry. The significance of supramolecular chemistry was currently underlined by the second Nobel Prize (2016) awarded for the development of this field. The domain of supramolecular chemistry is the design of novel receptors for selective complexation of selected ions and/or neutral molecules (host-guest chemistry), spontaneous formation of well-defined aggregates (self-assembly), molecular recognition, the synthesis and application of topological isomers (catenanes, rotaxanes, knotanes). The basic concepts of supramolecular chemistry together with the most frequently used families of highly preorganised compounds (crownethers, calixarenes, cyclodextrins, cryptophanes, porphyrins, resorcarenes, cucurbiturils, fullerenes, dendrimers etc.) are discussed as well.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

• recognise the noncovalent interactions acting in a specific system

• use the knowledge of noncovalent interactions for design of receptor suitable for the complexation of cations and/or anions)

• design the 3D structure/shape of receptor for the complexation of neutral molecule

• choose analytical methods suitable for the study of a given complex

• suggest methods for the evaluation of the stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of the host-guest interaction

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

• use the concepts of supramolecular chemistry in the advanced organic synthesis
