Work in bioorganometallic research was initiated by Madden and Quinn in 1978 [169, 170], considerably later than purely chemical applications, thus proving that chemistry in this field was started earlier than biochemistry, and not vice versa as often stated. The hydrogenation activity of the catalyst RhCl(TPPMS)3 on phosphatidyl choline from soya lecithin was determined for...
