Self-Assembles for Crystal Engineering

 HORI Akiko
Course content
In this course, the weak interaction and crystallographic techinique for self-assembled systems will be introduced to discuss new molecular recognition materials. The basic knowledge in order to discuss the crystal structures and the individual molecular structures will learn based on the crystallography. Students will obtain the handling techniques of CIF and Mercury and be able to use single crystal X-ray crystallographic and pXRD analysis, required as graduate students. In the class, students actually treat the English textbook and the research papers, and can carry out the discussion and technical mastery of the crystal enginnering.
Purpose of class
This class will acquire several bonds and interactions based on fundamentals of crystallography structural analysis method to understand the material structure in the crystal. We will aim to be able to explain the current crystal engineering and related data which it is difficult to understand by lecture alone.
1. To be able to explain the chemical bonds and weak interactions.
2. To be able to explain the crystallographic studies.
3. To be able to discuss the molecular recognition systems.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to explain the chemical bonds and weak interactions.
  2. To be able to explain the crystallographic studies.
  3. To be able to discuss the molecular recognition systems.

Evaluation method and criteria
Your final grade will be calculated according to the following process: Quizzes (30%), Group works (40%), and Examinations (30%). To pass, students must earn at least 60 points out of 100.

You will reach approximately 60% if you participate in group works and can solve the basic quizzes, and will reach 80% or more to solve the related application examinations.
