The aim is for students to acquire basic knowledge related to supramolecular chemistry as a tool in the construction of complex systems from perfectly defined units, as well as its application in different areas of research.
Theme 1. Basic principles. Weak binding forces: types and properties.
Theme 2. Molecular recognition: molecular receptors.
Theme 3. Protein supramolecular systems: enzymatic catalysis.
Theme 4. Molecular self-assembly: nanotubes, molecular capsules, etc.
Theme 5. Applications of supramolecular chemistry: transport, catalysis, dynamic combinatorial chemistry, sensors, molecular machines and self-replicating systems. Applications in nanotechnology.
Theme 6. Liquid crystal polymers: Classification, properties and applications.
Theme 7. Chemistry of supramolecular coordination.
Theme 8. Supramolecular organometallic chemistry.

Basic and general competences.
- GC2 - Identify information from the scientific literature using the appropriate channels and integrate this information in order to propose and contextualise a research topic.
- GC5 - Use scientific terminology in English to argue experimental results in the context of the chemistry profession.
- GC6 - Correctly apply new technologies for capturing and organising information to solve problems in professional activity.
- CB7 - That students know how to apply the knowledge acquired and their ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study.
- CB8 - That students are able to integrate knowledge and face the complexity of making judgements based on incomplete or limited information, including reflections on the social and ethical responsibilities linked to the application of their knowledge and judgements.
Transversal competences.
- CT1 - Drafting, writing and publicly defending scientific and technical reports.
- CT3 - Work autonomously and efficiently in the daily practice of research or professional activity.
- TC4 - Appreciate the value of quality and continuous improvement, acting with rigour, responsibility and professional ethics.
Specific competences.
- SC1 - Define concepts, principles, theories and specialised facts of the different areas of Chemistry.
- SC4 - Innovate in the methods of synthesis and chemical analysis related to the different areas of Chemistry.
- SC7 - Operate with advanced instrumentation for chemical analysis and structural determination.
The contents of the course will be taught using modern audiovisual techniques by means of PowerPoint presentations accompanied by abundant bibliographic material. This training will be complemented with practical aspects.
This subject will be assessed by means of a continuous assessment methodology and a final exam, with access to the exam being conditional upon participation in at least 80% of the proposed activities (seminars and tutorials).
The weighting of the continuous assessment (35%) and the final exam (65%) will be based on the percentages indicated.
For cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the ‘Regulations for the evaluation of students' academic performance and revision of grades’ will apply.
In addition to class attendance, it will be necessary for the student to dedicate additional time to review the concepts studied in class, to solve the proposed exercises, to consult the bibliography, and to prepare the work. Some 77 hours/course will be necessary (adding face-to-face and non-face-to-face time).
Bearing in mind that in this subject the concepts that are studied throughout the course are very interrelated, it is very important to carry out a continuous and progressive study of the subject. It is also essential to read the bibliography recommended in each of the sections. In this way, the student will be able to find out about and solve any difficulties and doubts he/she may have throughout the course.
The student should attend the lectures related to this subject that are usually organised in the Departments.
Classes will normally be given in Spanish. However, some presentations may be given in English by the corresponding expert. In the event that the number of foreign students is high, classes will be taught in English.
