Abstract
Bioorganometallic chemistry is a relatively new aspect of metal-carbon bond compound reactivity in that the reactions with biological substrates in aqueous solution was previously the purview of bioinorganic chemists.1 Recently, there has been a dramatic new focus on the reactions of organometallic complexes with biologically relevant ligands and, interestingly, the majority performed in aqueous solution; the antithesis of our previous perception of metal-carbon bond reactivity.2
