Within this focus course, we will study the basics of intermolecular interactions. These include molecular properties such as polarizabilities, to learn about the behavior of molecules in external fields, as well as the treatment of thermodynamic and statistical effects.
An important
part of the lecture will be dedicated to discuss the different types of intramolecular
and
intermolecular interactions, such as dipole-dipole interactions, ion-dipole
interactions,
dispersion interactions, and hydrogen bonding, which are known to play
major
roles in molecular recognition and self-assembly both in biological systems and
in artificial
nanomaterials. We will discuss the underlying principles for each type of interaction
and discuss relevant examples.
