Short description: |
The lecture is addressed for non-chemistry students and is aimed at introduction to the elementary concepts of modern chemistry and bioorganic chemistry. The students will be exposed to the basic knowledge on structural chemistry and dynamic stereochemistry and also on inter- and intramolecular interactions that are fundamental for supramolecular chemistry. |
Full description: |
The course systematically presents selected fundamental aspects of modern general, structural, organic and bioorganic chemistry. Programme: 1. The structure of matter: atoms, elements, isotopes. Periodic Table of elements. Atomic orbitals. Electronegativity and its correlation with other properties. Chemical bonding. Non-bonding interactions. The role of hydrogen bond in nature. 2. Thermodynamic description of the chemical reactions: enthalpy and entropy, theory of the transition state. Basic concepts of catalysis. 3. Reactivity of organic compounds. Acids and bases. Ions equilibria in water solutions. The concept of pH. The formation of the chemical bond - molecular orbitals and geometry of the molecule. Introduction to stereochemistry. 4. Fundamentals of organic chemistry. Hydrocarbons - their structure and reactivity. Stereochemistry of organic compounds. Classes of functional groups and the reactivity of organic molecules. Aromaticity and the electronic properties of matter. 5. Fundamentals of biochemistry and bioorganic chemistry. Metabolism of the living organisms: photosynthesis, Calvin and Krebs cycles. The formation of natural products from primary and secondary metabolism. Low molecular weight natural compounds. Biopolimers and their functions. Biological membranes. Enzymes and their mode of action. Biotechnology. Description by Zbigniew Czarnocki, June 2009 |
