Metals and Life by Eleanor Crabb and Elaine Moore
This appears to be an excellent introductory text for bioinorganic chemistry. The authors assume no previous biochemistry knowledge and only a cursory understanding of concepts in inorganic chemistry is required. Any student who has completed general chemistry should find most of the book readily accessible.
Student Literature-Based Organometallic Lecture
Synthesis and characterization of 12-tungstosilicic acid - a modification
The organometallic hypertext book
I am sure most people already use this but I always refer to students to the Organometallic hypertext book. It has excellent explanations of topics such as back-donation in organometallic complexes.
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell 2010
In this laboratory experiment, students construct a solar cell from a combination of synthetic and natural materials. It touches on a variety of chemical principles (kinetics, photochemistry, electrochemistry, intermolecular forces, material properties); however, the primary aim is the experience of turning materials into components and then assembling them into a working device. This experiment is unique in that it emphasizes each material's function, and how its properties affect this function. Students can seal these solar cells and take them home afterward.
Protein Data Bank - A Beginner's Guide
Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Classical Coordination Compounds Copper(II) and Silver(II) Picolinate.
The Berry Pseudorotation in PF5
This activity makes use of Jmol animations created by Prof. Marion Cass at Carleton College to illustrate the Berry Pseudorotation in trigonal bipyramidal molecules such as PF5. Students explore the animations and answer a series of questions that lead to a description of this intramolecular motion that exchanges equatorial and axial atoms in trigonal bipyramidal molecules.
Video explanations and practice problems of basic chemistry and math topics
This is a website which links to a wide variety of good quality YouTube mini-lectures on basic topics in chemistry, mathematics, physics and a variety of other sciences. Each video is about 10 minutes long and many go through example problems slowly and completely.
