                      LEARNING OUTCOMES.
                      \n<\/strong>The main goal of this course is to provide a general background on structure, reactivity, and synthesis of organic molecules needed for students to get a comprehensive picture of the construction of simple to complex molecular systems. Emphasis is given on the concepts of aromaticity and aromatic chemistry that are relevant to the field of organic nanomaterials with optical, photonic and electronic properties. The beginning of the course will consist of an upgrade of students background on basic concepts on molecular orbitals, electronic effects of substituents, organic reactions, and optical properties – structure relationships. The course also includes an overview of coordination chemistry and its application to modern methods based on transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for the generation of functional molecules with extended pi-conjugation.<\/p>\n

                      KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING.
                      \n<\/strong>The students should understand the chemical and physical principles that underlie the synthesis, structure and properties of organic molecules The teaching encourages critical thinking in students to help them analyze synthetic approaches described in the scientific literature.
                      \n
                      \nLEARNING SKILLS
                      \n<\/strong>Course contents are centered on bond formation\/cleavage n and transformations of organic molecules to produce functional materials but also encompass a range of general topics such as catalysis, coordination chemistry and physical organic chemistry. The structure of the teaching will allow developing a capacity to connect all these aspects and approaching multidisciplinary subjects in the field of the synthesis and properties of materials.
