The first approach to combine proteins and metal catalysts was to covalently link a protein with a metal-organic ligand complex (for reviews see [4, 5]). For example, three research groups created hybrid hydrogenation catalysts by covalently attaching a phosphorus ligand to biotin, which binds tightly to the protein avidin. In 1978... 

If a catalyst is to work well in solution, it (and tire reactants) must be sufficiently soluble and stable. Most polar catalysts (e.g., acids and bases) are used in water and most organometallic catalysts (compounds of metals witli organic ligands bonded to tliem) are used in organic solvents. Some enzymes function in aqueous biological solutions, witli tlieir solubilities detennined by the polar functional groups (R groups) on tlieir outer surfaces. 

Section 14 14 Transition metal complexes that contain one or more organic ligands offer a rich variety of structural types and reactivity Organic ligands can be bonded to a metal by a ct bond or through its it system Metallocenes are transition metal complexes m which one or more of the ligands is a cyclopentadienyl ring Ferrocene was the first metallocene synthesized Its electrostatic potential map opens this chapter...

Tertiary stibines have been widely employed as ligands in a variety of transition metal complexes (99), and they appear to have numerous uses in synthetic organic chemistry (66), eg, for the olefination of carbonyl compounds (100). They have also been used for the formation of semiconductors by the metal—organic chemical vapor deposition process (101), as catalysts or cocatalysts for a number of polymerization reactions (102), as ingredients of light-sensitive substances (103), and for many other industrial purposes.
