Supramolecular chemistry is the chemistry of molecular assemblies (called supramolecules) organized through weak noncovalent
interactions. Through the field of supramolecular chemistry, chemistry is now extending its scope of research from the control
of single-molecular structures to the control of nanoscale structures. The aim of this course is to have students understand
the principles underlying supramolecular chemistry, to learn about the diverse functions of supramolecules which are superior
to those of single molecules, and to explore research at the forefront of modern chemistry.
The first part of this course will be conducted in lecture format. But, in the second part, each student is requested to have a presentation about a research paper and to accept questions and comments by the other students. Through this process, students are expected to brush up the skills of presentation and discussion.

- To understand the principles of the formation of supramolecules, and to learn about the diverse functions of supramolecules.
- To acquire skills to evaluate impact of any given chemical research by reading research papers.
- To improve skills to give an effective research presentation.
- To acquire skills to estimate and evaluate innovative effects of chemical research.
