Unit I: 
Supramolecular Chemistry-I

Definition and development of supra molecular chemistry, nature of supramolecular interactions (ion pairing, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, dipole-induced dipole and ion-induced dipole, van der Waals or Dispersion, hydrogen bonding, cation-π, anion- π,  closed shell, π π stacking).

Classification of host-guest compounds, pre-organisation and complementarity: thermodynamic and kinetic effects.

Cation Binding: complexation by crown ether, cryptands (spherical and tetrahedral recognition), spherands, lariat ethers and podands. Recognition of ammonium ions. Synthesis: template effect and high dilution. biological significance: valinomycin and nonactin.

Anion Binding: Basic concepts of anion binding, cyclophanes and guanidinium-based       receptors, neutral receptors: zwitterions, amide-based receptors. Biological significance:         phosphate and sulphate binding properties.

  1. Binding and recognition of neutral molecules.
  2. Coreceptor molecules and multiple recognition: dinuclear and polynuclear metal ion cryptates, linear recognition of molecular length by ditopic coreceptors, heterotopic coreceptors: cyclophane receptors, amphiphilic receptors, large molecular cages, multiple recognition in metalloreceptors.
