It is intended that students acquire the basic knowledgement regarding the use of supramolecular chemistry as a tool for the construction of complex systems from well-defined units, as well as their application in different research areas.
Unit 1. Supramolecular chemistry: non-covalent interactions.
Unit 2. Determination of association constants
Unit 3. Molecular recognition of neutral and charged species.
Unit 4. Self-assembly and supramolecular topology.
Unit 5. Self-organization.
Unit 6. Catalysis and supramolecular dynamics.
Unit 7. Natural and artificial molecular machines.
Unit 8. Supramolecular logic: supramolecular sensors, switches, memories and cables.

Basic and general skills
• CB6 - Possess and understand knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and / or application of ideas, often in a research context.
• CB7 - That students know how to apply the acquired knowledge and their problem-solving capacity in new or little-known environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
• CB9 - That students know how to communicate their conclusions and the latest knowledge and reasons that support them to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way.
• CB10 - That students possess the learning skills that allow them to continue studying in a way that will have to be largely self-directed or autonomous.
• CG3 - Access the necessary information (databases, scientific articles, etc.) and have sufficient criteria for its interpretation and use.
• CG5 - Use scientific terminology in the English language to argue experimental results in the context of the chemical profession.
• CG6 - Correctly apply new information gathering and organization technologies to solve problems in professional activity.
• CG7 - Publicly present the results of an investigation or a technical report.
Specific competences.
• CE11 - Know the basic concepts of Supramolecular Chemistry and Organic Macromolecular Chemistry.
• CE12 - Know the most important types of organic macromolecules and organic supramolecular entities, their characterization, modifications and their application in Science and Technology.
Cross-cutting competences.
• CT2 - Develop the capacity for scientific and technical communication in Spanish and English, both orally and in writing, using the most common audiovisual media.
• CT6 - Demonstrate learning capacity and autonomous work for the development of their professional life.
• CT7 - Develop sensitivity and responsibility on energy, environmental and ethical issues.
• CT9 - Adapt to changes, being able to apply new and advanced technologies and other relevant progress, with initiative and entrepreneurial spirit
The contents of the course will be taught using modern audiovisual techniques using PowerPoint presentations, accompanied by abundant modern bibliographic precedents. The training will be complemented with different practical aspects.
To carry out tutorials, as well as to maintain direct communication between the students themselves and between them and the teacher/s, they can be done through the Virtual Campus forum, through Ms. Teams or by email.
The evaluation of this subject will be done through a continuous evaluation methodology and with a final exam, with access to the exam being conditional on participation in at least 80% of attendance classroom teaching activities (seminars and tutorials).
The teacher will verify the attendance to the classes according to the official attendance control system established in the University (or in its Center) where the student is enrolled. Absences must be documented.
The weighting of the continuous assessment (40%) and the final exam (60%). The final exam will consist of both a written part (25%) and an oral presentation (75%).
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the rule applied will be the “Regulations for evaluating student academic performance and reviewing grades”.
In addition to class attending, it is necessary that the student will spend some additional time to review the concepts studied in class, to the resolution of some exercises, to read some of the most relevant work of the area, and to the final work presentation. 75 hours / year will be needed (adding the classroom and non-classroom time).
Considering that the concepts in this area to be studied throughout the course are closely related, it is very important to perform a continuous and progressive study of the art. Likewise, it is essential to read the recommended bibliography for each section. Thus the student can learn and solve the difficulties and doubts along the teaching period. The student should attend all the conferences related to this topic that are usually organized by the Department.
Classes will be usually taught in Spanish. However, some advanced lectures could be taught in English by an invited expert. In case the number of foreign students is high, the classes can be imparted in English.
