Hours of instruction:

Weekly: three hours of lectures (3+0+0)

Goals:

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamentals of the chemistry of elements, particularly the elements which play a relevant role in biological systems. Special emphasis will be laid on the chemistry of the transition metals and coordination compounds and their role in biological processes (oxygen carriers, metalloenzymes).

Outcome:

Students are expected to advance their knowledge of inorganic chemistry, particularly of coordination chemistry (this is important for understanding the action of biomolecules) and chemistry of elements (this is important for understanding how their electron configuration determines their chemical, physical and physiological properties).
