Talk:Bioinorganic chemistry

Made up?

Surely this is completely made up? I am obsessed with chemistry, I am a fanatic, but I have never come accross any thing like this.--Honeycake 07:05, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I'm considering having this moved to either the Chemistry section itself or as a subset of Inorganic. It's really tough to tell where to place it. --Martin Osterman 17:50, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

What the heck was/is "this"? mdr Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 22:32, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Merge from Metal metabolism

The article Metal metabolism is rather strongly overlapping with the content and the goal of bioinorganic chemistry. The curation on each article is so slim that it makes sense to combine efforts on the main one. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:12, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Tag added to important by completely unreferenced subsection, and image moved to Talk

The following image is moved to Talk, because it makes a very specific chemical claim without offering verifiability; the section in which it was embedded make a further series of more general claims that also are presently unverifiable. The section was allowed to stand, but is tagged as being without required secondary references allowing claims to be verified. The image was moved here pending provision of citations. The image, with lead brackets removed:

• Image:Roxarsone.png|left|120px|thumb|Roxarsone (4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzenearsonic acid) is a controversial food additive in chicken farms that may cause environmental damage.]]

I despise having to do this, but to allow such specific material to remain in is bad practice, and articles that begin to allow such easy additions of unreferenced material deteriorate into dumbing grounds for the same. This is simply not acceptable in an encyclopedia. Le Prof Leprof 7272 (talk) 22:28, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

Good point. That was probably my contribution. Roxarsone came up in C&EN a couple of years ago and has been in the news a fair bit. Always struck me as counterintuitive As would be added to chicken feed. I have worked on the organoarsenic chemistry article also so take a look at that. I am traveling but will check for a more general source on this compound when I am in a more stable internet environment. There is a wealth of information on B12-mediated transformations of As and Hg into unpleasant derivatives, and I just need to look around for a secondary refs on the area. Your level of scrutiny is helpful.--Smokefoot (talk) 23:19, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
