Kursusindhold: Established and frontier elements of electron and atom group transfer in chemistry, biochemistry and biophysics. Topics to be chosen from:

1.The quantum mechanical tunnel effect in physical, chemical, and biological systems.
2.The liquid state of the environmental reaction medium.
3.The simplest chemical process - electron transfer: outer sphere electron transfer in inorganic and organic chemistry; dissociative electron transfer.
4.Towards preciser electron transfer theory: nuclear tunnelling; chemical processes at low temperatures; the diabatic and adiabatic limits.
5.Optical electronic processes and charge transfer spectroscopy.
6.Proton and atom group transfer: general acid and base catalysis, kinetic isotope effects.
7.The electrochemical process: the solid-liquid interface; electron transfer at metal and semiconductor electrodes; electron densities and electron tunnelling.
8.The notion of "long-range" electron transfer; intermediate states and intermediate matter; environmental dynamics and electron tunnelling.
9.Electron transfer in proteins and nucleic acids: molecular recognition; coherent processes; the photosynthetic apparatus; enzyme function and conformational dynamics.
10.Solvation and resolvation dynamics - the stochastic approach.
11.Perspectives and outlook: chemical nanostructures; molecular electronics; scanning probe microscopy, STM and AFM; ultrafast processes; charge transfer and phase transitions.
