It will give students the fundamentals for the understanding of the chemical and physical interactions behind the nanosystems’ synthesis and properties. Furthermore, the main synthetic methods of nanostructural systems as well as, how the properties of these systems depend on their chemical structure, dimensions, shape and on the environmental conditions will be provided. In addition, the fundamental concepts of the techniques for the investigation of nanomaterials and application aspects in different fields as biomedicine and energy and environment will be introduced.
Expected learning outcomes:
- Knowledge of the main supramolecular forces and interactions behind the nanosystems synthesis and assemble.
- Knowledge of the main methodologies of nanosystem synthesis.
- Understanding the existing relationships between the size effect of the nanomaterial and their chemical physical properties.
- Knowledge of the standard methods used to study the nanosystems.
- Knowledge of the main applications of nanosystems.

Atomically precise thiolate protected gold and more generally metal nanoclusters have
metal-core diameters of 1-1.8 nm, and the number and nature of the metal atoms and capping ligands are
clearly defined. Over the last years, synthetic and purification procedures have been implemented to such a
high level that many of them could be prepared and extensively studied. Important properties could be
assessed through careful studies of the nanoclusters' optical, magnetic, and electron-transfer behaviors.
This course will showcase the chemistry and physical chemistry of these nanosystems, starting from the
synthesis, purification, and main characterization techniques. Then, their magnetic, optical, photophysical,
and electrochemical behaviors will be described and analyzed. Finally, the course will cover applications
with a special focus on electro- and photo-catalysis.
