Traditionally, inorganic compounds are considered to be of mineral, not biological, origin. Complementarily, most organic compounds are traditionally viewed as being of biological origin. Over the past century, the precise classification of inorganic vs organic compounds has become less important to scientists, primarily because the majority of known compounds are synthetic and not of natural origin. Furthermore most compounds considered the purview of modern inorganic chemistry contain organic
ligands. The fields of
organometallic chemistry and
bioinorganic chemistry explicitly focus on the areas between the fields of organic, biological, and inorganic chemistry.
