Supramolecular chemistry has been defined as...

The study of large molecules

Chemistry beyond the molecule

Chemistry of atoms

The study of covalent bonds

3. Supramolecular chemistry is primarily concerned with...

Covalent bonding

Non-covalent bonding

Atomic forces

Thermodynamics

4. Supramolecules are very common in nature, which of the following is an example of a supramolecule?

Caffeine

Glucose

DNA

Thymine

6. What kind of forces are used in binding?

Van der Waal's forces are insignificant in supramolecular chemistry due to the fact that they are very
weak.

True

False

7. Using the appropriate supramolecular host, it is possible to bind which of these guests?
Anions

All of these

Cations

Neutral species

8. What type of guest would a crown ether (essentially a cyclic poly ether) be able to bind?

Cations

Neutral species

Anions

Zwitterions (a molecule with both a positive and negative charge)

9. Where's this all going?

There is a lot of interest in the area of supramolecular catalysis at the moment, why is this?

It would be useful for cutting down on the amount of solvent in the reaction and hence decreases costs.
This is of particular significance to large scale industrial processes.

It would allow very efficient and stereoselective catalysis of often very difficult reactions.

It is thought that a supramolecular catalyst would be capable of replacing catalytic metals in reactions,
thereby reducing cost while increasing efficiency.

There is actually very little interest in this area, due to the fact that it is very difficult to make a
supramolecular catalyst.

10. Last one...

The 'lock-and-key' principle states that it is possible to bind any guest if the host is big enough.

True

False
