Talk:Rosenthal's reagent

Merge suggestion

I suggest that the article Titanocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene be merged into this one. They are about the same topic, so there is no need for separate articles. Marbletan (talk) 19:25, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

There is some difference, as Rosenthal's reagent can be at least 4 different chemicals, and Zirconocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene pyridine is another of them (variation on zirconium and pyridine). Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:35, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Well we also have Zirconocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene pyridine that I tagged for merging. There does not appear to be substantial encyclopediac content specific to each one to merit their own article. The article about each one is barely acceptable for WP in my opinion. Would likely be rejected at AFC for being a lit-review of primary research using editors' own attempts at context rather than secondary refs to give context and DUE to certain aspects.

• Clearly should be merged. If there are four different chemicals called "Resenthal's reagent" they should be named and described in this article; currently this duplication is silly. I'll also note that both Zirconocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene pyridine and Titanocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene were started within the past three months by editors who are taking a course at MIT, so very possibly this duplication is triggered by this "educational" activity.
