Metal-Carbon Bonds in Enzymes and Cofactors / / ed. by Helmut Sigel, Astrid Sigel, Roland K.O. Sigel.

The occurrence of a wide variety of metal-carbon bonds in living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans, is only recently recognized. Of course, the historical examples are the B12 coenzymes containing cobalt-carbon bonds, but now such bonds are also known for nickel, iron, copper, and other tra...
