Supramolecular chemistry
The course lays down the basic principles of supramolecular chemistry: molecular self-assembly by using non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen-bonding, hydrophobic forces, metal coordination and π-π interactions. Molecular self-organization, pre-organization, templating and self-organized growth are exemplified. Host-guest complexes that are made up of two or more parts and are held together through non-covalent interactions, which can reversibly bind and dissociate are also studied. A special topic in supramolecular chemistry is formed by mechanically interlocked molecular structures, such as rotaxanes and catenanes that are bound as a result of their topology. Supramolecular catalysis forms an important aspect of the course. Thermodynamic aspects as well as the importance of the molecular environment in supramolecular chemistry are discussed as well as the synthesis and characterization of artificial supramolecular assemblies.
Nanomaterials.
This part begins with an introduction to nanotechnology. Nanomaterials are composed of (molecular) units and have features on the 1-100 nm scale that determine their function, and behave different from the bulk. Examples of functional nanomaterials are discussed. The concepts in supramolecular chemistry for synthesis of supramolecular constructs are prevalent in nanotechnology and nano-science. Self-assembly is one of the options to make nano-structures. Quantum dots, nanoparticles and various applications of nanomaterials including medicine, catalysis and especially (organic) photovoltaics are discussed. The final part of the course concentrates on fast spectroscopy in supramolecular chemistry and (photovoltaic)nanomaterials. Various time-resolved techniques are exemplified in order to understand more about photoinduced processes, excited states in supramolecular systems, rates and mechanisms of different photochemical processes. Limitations of photovoltaics are also discussed.
After following this course, the student is able to:
Lectures and tutorials. Presentations by the students.
Suggestions will be given but you can choose a scienctific paper yourself to present during the course (we have to approve your choice at the beginning of/during the course). It should be about 'Supramolecular Chemistry' or about 'Nanomaterials'. We recommend 'Science' or 'Nature' papers. But, other journal are also possible.
