Definition, description, characterization, chemical and physical properties of organic and inorganic supramolecular systems. Basic concepts of organic chemistry, coordination chemistry and physical organic chemistry are required.
The objectives of the course is to familiarize with the concept of non-covalent interactions for engineering supramolecular architectures in different fields: biochemistry, material science, nanotechnology and organic chemistry.
Supramolecular chemistry is concerned with intermolecular assemblies hiring "non-covalent interactions". Communication, information, self-assembly, self-organization, association reversible and adaptable to the environment, emergent properties are some of the concepts explored in this course, between chemistry, biology and physics.

The evaluation consists of a written examination based on the course content and a critical review of two scientific articles taken from the literature.
