READING LIST for CHEMISTRY 211a

For Lectures

No required text book BUT almost all the lectures are keyed to Kaim, Schwederski & Klein, and partly to Lippard-Berg and Bertini et al. with connecting references also to the Kaim, and Roat-Malone.

Recommended Text Books I recommend you find them in the library and once every 1-2 weeks check the page references given for each lecture. While no specific questions will be taken from these Recommended Text Books I recommend you find them in the library and once every 1-2 weeks check the page references given for each lecture. While no specific questions will be taken from these books for exams, they help expand and explain the concepts given in the lectures.

2nd edition of Kaim, Schwederski & Klein (KS&K)- “Biolnorganic Chemistry: Inorganic elements in the chemistry of life” in the book store ISSN: 1939-5175

Biological Inorganic Chemistry – Structure and Reactivity by Bertini, Gray, Stiefel, and Valentine (2007) TAYSTK QD151.3.B615 2007. (On heavy demand (2-hour loan) at the Taylor Library.) An exceptional book if you are planning on 4^th year research or graduate work o topics that involve metals in biology. Has no chapters on toxic metals; very brief on metals in medicine. Lectures are keyed to this book.

Concepts and Models in Bioinorganic Chemistry by Kraatz and Metzler-Nolte. TAYSTK QU130.C743 2006. (On heavy demand (2-hour loan) at the Taylor Library.) Very interesting description of the key metal-ligand regions by discussing small molecule models of biological molecules. Coedited by past-UWO’s Prof. Kraatz.

Principles of Bioinorganic Chemistry by Lippard & Berg. TAYSTK QU 130.L765 1994 (In the Taylor Library and in the book store.)

Bioinorganic chemistry: a short course by Roat-Malone. QU130.R628b (On heavy demand (2-hour loan) at the Taylor Library and in the book store.)

Bioinorganic chemistry: inorganic elements in the chemistry of life: an introduction and guide by Kaim and Schwederski. QU130.K13 1994 (On heavy demand (2-hour loan) at the Taylor Library.)

The biological chemistry of the elements: the inorganic chemistry of life by da Silva and Williams. QU4.S586b 2001 (On heavy demand (1-day loan) at the Taylor Library.) A very interesting book but hard to follow at times.

Housecroft and Sharp “Inorganic Chemistry” 1^st or 2^nd Edition

For Inorganic Chemistry, first use your 1^st year text, then Housecroft and Sharpe 1^st and 2^nd editions are in the library, the 2^nd edition is on 2 hr loan. These books both editions, have good Bioinorganic descriptions at the back; an inexpensive 2^nd hand copy would be useful.

There are a number of other books with very interesting material. I list them here for your interest.

Prof. Baird’s “Environmental Chemistry”, used in Chemistry 210a, has a very nice chapter on toxic metals (Ch.11) including Hg, Pb, Cd, As, and Cr.

e books for exams, they help expand and explain the concepts given in the lectures.

There is a single copy on 2 hr loan in the Taylor Library of all Bioinorganic books. The Housecroft and Sharp “Inorganic Chemistry” 1^st or 2^nd Edition is extremely useful if you need a refresher for your 1^st year chemistry. If you can find an inexpensive, used Biochemistry book that will help for the biological material.
