(i) How much emphasis should be laid on the quantum mechanics that forms the foundations of nanotechnology. If possible to quantify, what % of the course content should be introductory quantum mechanics?
(ii) Can anyone suggest some student friendly books for this introductory course?

First, I am not a physical chemist or nano chemist. However I have some sense of the nano and quantum. I would include 5-10% of quantum mechanics not quantitatively but qualitatively. I mean, rather than just teachiching quantum equations, would try to let them understand the extract of the quantum mechanics. That will help them to understand what nano world is. Good luck!
