Specialized lecture for BEAM: Supramolecular chemistry

Specialized lecture for BEAM: Supramolecular chemistry

Supervisor: Dr. Mohamed Alaasar
Event Date: 10.10.2022 – 04.02.2023
Venue: VDP2, 2.02
Duration: 9 am – 10:30 am

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.

The course will deal with the following topics:
– Concepts and types of supramolecular interactions. – Supramolecular chemistry of Life.
– Molecular Interactions in Molecular Recognition.
– Controlling the Molecular Recognition.
– Amphiphilic self-assembly and liquid crystals.
– Chiral self-assembly and mirror symmetry breaking in liquid crystals.

Workshop: Academic Poster Design

Workshop: Academic Poster Design

Event Date: 17.02.2022 + 24.02.2022:

“Clear at Glance – Successfully Communicate your Research at the Next Virtual or Physical Event Poster sessions are an integral part of almost every scientific conference. Their purpose is to highlight research results, visualize them and stimulate discussion. To draw your audience in, you need a crystal-clear message, a text format optimized for best legibility, well-chosen graphics and above all, a convincing layout for a printed or digital format. Basic rules of graphic design help you to arrange your research visually well-ordered and compelling. The workshop also provides time for practice a pitch poster presentation of your poster – participants come away from the course with a designed or redesigned poster.”
