Chemical Elements in Living Systems (Winter 2021)
- University of Toronto Scarborough – Inorganic chemistry
- From calendar: This course will explore the role of the chemical elements other than “the big six” (C, H, O, N, P, S) in living systems, with a focus on metal cations. The topic includes geochemistry and early life, regulation and uptake of metallic elements, structure-function relationships in metalloproteins.
Intermediate Inorganic chemistry (Winter 2021)
- University of Toronto Scarborough – Inorganic chemistry
- From calendar: Structure, bonding, spectroscopy and reactivity of transition metal compounds. After an overview of descriptive chemistry, the focus is on coordination and organometallic chemistry, with an introduction to catalysis and biocoordination chemistry.
