Course content
The course presents a summary of information from the principles of supramolecular chemistry and introduces the main types of structures that are based on non-covalent interactions. Specifically, concepts are discussed - receptor, coordination, key and lock, host and guest, chelate, macrocyclic and template effect, preorganization and complementarity, self-assembly. The next part is devoted to the synthesis or occurrence of these compounds in biological systems, methods of synthesis design or their practical use.

Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to deepen knowledge in the field of compounds with non-covalent bonds with emphasis on their synthesis, physico-chemical properties, occurrence and use in materials chemistry and biochemistry.
After completing the course, students are familiar with the principles of supramolecular structures. They can design, synthesize, characterize these structures. They have an overview of their use in materials chemistry and biochemistry.
Prerequisites
Adequate knowledge of general, inorganic, fyzical and organic chemistry.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Apply knowledge of general, inorganic, fyzical, organic chemistry and biochemistry, combine this knowledge with each other.
