Aim: To provide practical experience in inorganic preparative and instrumental analytical techniques. Application of this experience to specific problems in coordination chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry.
Contents: Preparation and characterization of classical metal complexes, metallo-organic compounds, and model compounds for bio- molecules. Inorganic preparative techniques. Preparations involving liquid ammonia, and electrolysis. Chemical manipulations of air-sensitive compounds by inert atmosphere and vacuum-line techniques. Application of electroanalytical and spectroscopic techniques. Isolation, purification and characterization of metalloproteins, and investigations of metal ions in biological processes. Determination of essential trace elements in biological samples. Metalloenzyme catalysis. Interaction of metal ions with biomolecules. Redox properties of respiratory metalloproteins. Applied bioinorganic chemistry.
