Despite the heterogeneity of biological environments , researchers have demonstrated that “unprotected” inorganic catalysts are capable of promoting a variety of bioorthogonal reactions inside living cells. Importantly, the presence of these metallo‐xenobiotics does not adversely affect the health of the living host. In their Concept article on page 10584 ff., L. H. Do et al. also highlight several potential areas for future biocompatible chemistry development.
