To provide the students with a basic understanding of the architecture and complexity of organic molecules; the tools to analyze and translate this complexity into a series of key-operations that will enable their design, synthesis and construction; a basic understanding of molecular modeling and computational tools which will assist to understand the intimate steps by which the molecules are constructed; the methods to analyze and structurally characterize organic molecules and materials; etc.

To provide the students with state-of-the-art knowledge of interest for the construction of complex organic molecules and architectures. Examples of systems of relevance for advanced catalysis, the material sciences and the life sciences will be discussed and studied in detail. Intimately related to these objectives is the introduction of the students to advanced models required for the planning of complex multi-step syntheses (strategies), the interpretation of experimental data, the elucidation of underlying reaction mechanisms, stereochemical consequences, etc.
