C 31L The Inorganic Chemistry of Biological Systems

C 31L Laboratory Experiments - An Introduction

The course involves not only an introduction to metal ions in biological systems but an introduction to macrocyclic chemistry as well.
The experiments in this manual include:

1. Investigation of Copper(II) amino acid complexes.
2. Dioxygen Uptake by Co(salen).
3. Cobaloximes - Models for Vitamin B12.
4. Preparation of a Nickel(II) tetraazamacrocyclic complex.
5. Interaction of Pyrophosphate with Metal ions.
