Bioinorganic Chemistry

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Bioinorganic Chemistry
Leerdoelen	At the end of the course, the student is able to: - Explain trends in the periodic table. - Explain structures, trends in bond length/strength and other molecular properties by applying bonding theories. - Explain the electronic structure of d-metal compounds and relate it to spectral and magnetic properties. - Discuss coordination compounds and metals in general in a life science context.
Omschrijving	The course Bioinorganic Chemistry provides a general introduction to inorganic chemistry, with special focus on the role of metals in a life science context. The first part of the course will cover central concepts in inorganic chemistry (e.g. atomic structure, chemical bonding, Lewis acid/base theory, coordination chemistry, d-block metals). The second part focuses on the role of (d-block) metals in a life science context (e.g. nitrogen fixation and oxygen activation).
