Supramolekulare Chemie, Klausur

What it is about

You will receive an introduction to supramolecular chemistry, self-assembly, supramolecular materials and molecular machines. By the end you will be able to explain non-covalent interactions and thermodynamic driving forces of assembly as well as molecularly design simple amphiphiles, peptides and liquid crystals and name the functions and mechanisms of supramolecular systems.

What you will be able to do

• Name and understand non-covalent interactions between molecules
• Understand the thermodynamic driving forces of supramolecular assembly
• Molecularly design amphiphiles
• Molecularly design self-assembly peptides
• Molecularly design liquid crystals
• Name functions of self-assembled structures
• Reproduce mechanisms of molecular machines

What the module consists of

• VorlesungProvision of fundamentals and thematic deepening (e.g., amphiphiles, peptides, liquid crystals, non-equilibrium self-assembly, hydrogels, molecular machines)
• ÜbungWorking on concrete questions and examples to deepen the lecture content

Teaching method

• Präsentationen (PowerPoint)Introduction and delivery of the content
• Selbststudium von Lehrbuchkapiteln und ausgewählten ArtikelnDeepening and supplementing the lecture content
• Übungsaufgaben und FallbeispieleApplication of what has been learned and deepening through discussion/completion
