Course content
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 understand the principles of 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 will team up and challenge to create business plans to solve social problems by utilizing the functions of supramolecules.
Purpose of class
In this course, the primary objective is to understand the principle of formation of supramolecules, to know the diversity of the functions of supramolecules and the possibility of development in this field. It is also the purpose of this course to realize how chemistry can be involved in solving social problems through problem-based learning. Students are expected to make use of this experience in forming their career plans.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand the principles of the formation of supramolecules, and to learn about the diverse functions of supramolecules.
  2. To be able to present ideas to utilize knowledge of supramolecular chemistry to solve social problems.
  3. To be able to work on problem solving by collaborating with team members.
