In this context, green chemistry education (GCE) and sustainable chemistry education (SCE) have received increasing attention, especially in recent years. However, gaps remain in further understanding the historical roots of green chemistry (GC) and sustain- able chemistry (SC), their differences, similarities, as well the implications of this wider comprehension into curricula.

In the second part of our programme, it is our (RSC), which celebrated its 175th Anniversary in 2016. pleasure to have speakers from Germany and the UK discuss four of these vitally important challenges (food, water, energy The GDCh brings together people working in chemistry and and sustainability). We very much look forward to hearing the molecular sciences and supports their striving for positive, from our expert speakers on how chemistry can play its part sustainable scientific advance – for the good of humankind in helping deliver solutions to these issues. and the environment, and a future worth living for. With this goal in mind, it promotes chemistry in education, research This is followed by a very special presentation.

Format for Abstract
A Bioorganometallic Journey from Peptide Bioconjugates to Novel Metal-based Antibiotics Nils Metzler-Nolte* Inorganic Chemistry I – Bioinorganic Chemistry, Ruhr University Bochum, 44801 Bochum, Germany E-mail: [email protected] Since the discovery of modern antibiotics such as the penicillins in the first half of the last century, bacterial infections that would have been fatal only 100 years ago can be successfully treated for a relatively small cost. On the other hand, even in developed countries with excellent healthcare facilities, the fight against bacterial infections is a continuous one. Resistance against many common antibiotics develops rapidly and in fact often quicker than novel antibiotics reach the market. Therefore, there is an urgent need for new classes of antibiotics. To match this need, metal-containing compounds hold particular promise.[1] On the one hand, a metal complex alone might enhance the activity of an established drug. Alternatively, addition of a metal complex might alter the specificity of a given (organic) drug, e.g. by making it active not only against Gram-positive but also against Gram-negative bacteria. In our group, we have successfully modified the activity of two classes of antibiotics by substitution with metal complexes, namely anti-microbial peptides (AMPs) and a novel lead structure named platensimycin. Derivatization of a short AMP with a primary sequence consisting of three arginine and three tryptophane residues by metallocenes (e.g. ferrocene and ruthenocene carboxlic acid derivatives)
