Subject outline

Nanochemistry covers aspects of chemistry when the size of the chemical structures plays a determining role in their behaviour. The Nanochemistry lecture topic describes the most common structures where the particle-molecule duality dominates: colloids, nanoparticles, quantum dots; dendrimers; self-assembled monolayers and structures; bucky balls and nanotubes; and supramolecular structures. Applications of such systems are also discussed, including drug-delivery, coatings and molecular machines. The Organic Chemistry lecture topic provides complementary information about structure and synthesis of aromatic molecules, means of chemical coupling and functionalization that is frequently used to achieve chemical specificity in nanostructures. For the characterization of organic molecules, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method is introduced.
