Supramolecular Chemistry (F1651)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Autumn teaching

You’ll explore the origins of supramolecular chemistry, including the founding concepts of supramolecular interactions and how they contrast with the properties of typical covalent bonds.

Through examples from recent literature, you will understand the design principles behind the complex and expanding array of supramolecular switches, machines and materials that have become commonplace in recent times.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
