Using SC-WEB to teach supramolecular chemistry
Computer-aided supramolecular chemistry

This software can be used by students of various levels of chemistry, in courses on inorganic chemistry, biochemistry and solid state chemistry. Some of the possible uses are listed in the table 1 .

To illustrate these possibilities, we present a few examples taken from Chapters 2 and 4 of the referenced work . They concern the complexation of alkali and ammonium cations by organic receptors, and the complexation of alkali cations by inorganic receptors. These examples introduce some fundamental concepts of supramolecular chemistry: molecular...
