Description
A general overview of the supramolecular chemistry of f-block elements will be presented, covering concepts such as molecular recognition, the specific physicochemical properties of the lanthanides and actinides, and supramolecular materials.
Hourly volumes*:
CM: 12:00 p.m.
TD: 8:00 a.m.
Objectives
The objective of this course unit is to present the advantages of molecular and supramolecular chemistry in terms of controlling the reactivity or structure of molecular assemblies or materials, and then to apply this to the f-elements.
Mandatory Prerequisites
Coordination Chemistry of f-Block Elements
Knowledge Assessment
Comprehensive Continuous Monitoring
Course Outline
A General Approach to Supramolecular Chemistry
- Application to molecular recognition:
- the principle of molecular recognition
- luminescent probes
- electrochemical probes
- bimodal probes
- Physicochemical Properties of Lanthanides and Their Applications:
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
