Supramolecular chemistry, also known as “chemistry beyond the molecule”, deals with the study of molecular recognition and high-order assemblies formed by noncovalent interactions. The molecules that comprise the supermolecule interact with each other via weak interactions such as hydrogen-bonding, halogen-bonding, hydrophobic interactions, and coordination to form new entities with novel properties and functions that cannot be deduced by a simple summation of the properties of the individual molecules. This course is intended to introduce you to the fast-growing field of supramolecular chemistry and to understand the different types of non-covalent interactions that can lead to supramolecules.
CANCELLED – In this event series sucessful scientists share their experiences as a women in natural science, tell the story behind their official CV and give insights into their career for PhD students, PostDocs and interested students. This also gives natural scientists the opportunity to get-together and network.
