Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry A – laboratory 1200-1CHMCHNAL4
During the laboratory course, students become acquainted with fundamental knowledge from the field of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, including:
- properties of the elements of the main groups and transition metals resulting from the periodic law;
- issues concerning the structure, synthesis and properties of transition metal complexes and their role in biological systems;
- issues concerning the coordination, kinetics and the mechanism of exchange of ligands in inorganic and bioinorganic complexes (including metalloproteins) and their importance in processes occurring in biological systems;
- crystal field theory and molecular orbital theory;
- Broensted and Lewis concepts of acids and bases;
- elements of surface chemistry, including molecular self-assembly and the phenomenon of chemical and physical adsorption;
- catalytic reactions involving inorganic complexes and metalloproteins /enzymes;
- basic methods of physicochemical characterization of inorganic and bioinorganic compounds including electrochemical techniques, UV / VIS spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy.

Learning outcomes
The student knows and understands:
K_W07 advanced concepts of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, including the properties of chemical elements and their compounds.
K_W18 advanced aspects of the structure and operation of modern measuring equipment used to support scientific research in chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology.
K_W19 the principles of occupational health and safety to an extent sufficient for working in a chemical, biochemical and molecular biology laboratory.
The student is able to:
K_U07 analyse problems in the field of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, including issues related to the geometric and electronic structure of molecules. The student is able to describe and explain the basic types of chemical reactions and their mechanisms.
K_U15 plan and conduct basic research, experiments, observations and computer simulations in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, as well as critically evaluate their own results and discuss measurement errors.
K_U16 design, assemble and operate selected measuring equipment; perform measurements of selected physicochemical quantities, determine their values and assess the reliability of the results obtained.
K_U21 organise individual and team work in the implementation of joint tasks and projects, and critically assess their progress. The student independently undertakes and initiates basic research activities and cooperates with others as part of teamwork.
Assessment criteria
In order to pass the course the student is obliged to participate in all exercises. The evaluation will be based on the current preparation for the classes, the activity and the report on the exercise performed.
