“ Functional Supramolecular Chemistry”

This lecture will focus on synthetic supramolecular systems with interesting functions.  Particular emphasis will be on the integration of new (or almost new) concepts and principles from supramolecular chemistry into functional systems.  The general expectation is that fundamentally new approaches to create function will ultimately allow us to tackle challenges in chemistry, biology and the materials sciences that are otherwise beyond reach.  Functions of current interest include catalysis with anion-π interactions chalcogen bonds and pnictogen bonds, mechanosensitive fluorescent probes that change color like lobster during cooking to image physical forces in biological systems, and dynamic covalent exchange chemistry to find new ways into cells and deliver otherwise problematic substrates (e.g., quantum dots,artificial metalloenzyme).  From these lessons from supramolecular chemistry, new privileged scaffolds are emerging regularly, including naphthalenediimides (NDIs), dithienothiophenes (DTTs), cyclic oligochalcogenides (COCs; disulfides, diselenides, benzopolysulfanes), and so on.
