• Resumen

  • A series of experiments involving the synthesis and characterization of a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide derivative and its self-assembly properties are reported. These laboratory experiments combine organic synthesis, self-assembly, and physical characterization and are designed for upper-level undergraduate students to introduce the topic of self-assembly. Students learn techniques for standard organic reactions and purification via column chromatography and gain experience with elementary characterization methods such as IR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Polarization optical microscopy (POM), gelation studies, and UV spectroscopy are used for studying the self-assembly properties.
