The last edit states, "New York is one of the few populous states without a public university with a large endowment." The statement is only correct in the context of the NACUBO list, and it ignores State University of New York as written.

While the statement on smaller populations is true, my minor concern is the subtle implication of a conclusion not stated by a cited source. With that said, the entire paragraph could probably benefit from another citation or two. Redraiderengineer (talk) 18:02, 6 February 2024 (UTC) @Redraiderengineer:I was intrigued by the earlier request for a RS, but it seems that the information provided by my addition is common knowledge, WP:CK. So what would one cite, a source for the populations of these states? As for New York state having few well-endowed public universities, that info is provided by NACUBO, and their data are reproduced in the table. Let me know what you think. --Smokefoot (talk) 18:25, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I saw you reverted my addition of the factoid in Titanocene dicarbonyl. Of course, it is. But as the named elements were no links, the reason why the compounds are related remaines to the not to much fact based reader rather obscure. I changed the names of the elements into links.

Background: I mainly work on the Turkish Wikipedia, I have expanded the Turkish article for tetrachloroethylene (which is larger than twice of the English article in size) and nominated it as a Featured Article there. I plan to translate sections from that article to English and nominate the English article for Good Article status. It can require complete rewriting of sections but I don't it'll be an issue since I already have material to add. What do you think? ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ (talk) 19:59, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@ⲔⲖⲞⲢⲠⲒⲔⲢⲒⲚ: I will try to support your efforts. Here are my initial comments on the article:

• It is (hopefully) not important to make the article long to make it FA.
• Some editors attracted to the FA nomination will know little chemistry but such outsiders tend to be chemophobic (and chemo-ignorant). So, it will be important to document that it is not so awful. One of the main reasons that it is popular as cleaning agent is that it is nontoxic. Unlike soap and classical detergents, TCE is mostly recycled.
• Nonetheless, it could be useful to find info on biodegradation pathways and rates. I am sure that many dry cleaners dumped a lot of this stuff into the ground.
• Although not combustible, we might look for its reactions upon incineration (inevitably HCl and CO2).
• I will look for some chemistry (reactions) of this stuff.

--Smokefoot (talk) 20:39, 16 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

You can check out the Turkish article via a translator program, it can give you an idea of what I've written. I did an extensive research on its history and old nomenclature.

• In the TR article, I addressed the toxicity and possible carcinogenicity of PCE. I clarified the IARC classification with comparison to another materials classified 2A ("probably carcinogenic to humans") such as red meat and hot beverages (which the readers would be exposed on a nearly daily basis), so the readers can understand it better.
• I added some information on its biodegradation, referred to pollution briefly.
• I added the products of its pyrolysis and its other reactions there.

I will do the translation, but I might need help on formatting (esp. the citations).

Hey,

This is an old image of yours and it's currently states that the final compound is diazomethane - but it's showing the wrong structure, should be CH₂ and a negative charge somewhere (carbon preferably). My old copy of March tells me that aliphatic diazonium compounds are highly unstable - though admittedly that is a relative concept in this instance.

. Project Osprey (talk) 00:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I corrected the figure. Thank you very much, mate. --Smokefoot (talk) 04:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Apologies. The image was correct, it was the caption that was wrong. See this review (doi:10.1021/acs.joc.0c02774) Project Osprey (talk) 11:13, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I'm a little surprised that methyldiazonium is such a weak acid, given how selective diazomethane is for being protonated by various acid groups and the usual route for lab-prep of diazomethane. DMacks (talk) 12:30, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Although I have made diazomethane a couple of times, its chemistry always perplexed me. Apparently it can be lithiated. And then there is tmsCHN2 which somehow gives the same products as diazomethane. I guess that its ability to methylate involves protonation to give methyldiazonium?

I reverted the image so that it gives methyldiazonium. The JOC paper is useful.--Smokefoot (talk) 14:01, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I once worked with a guy who developed an industrial process that used it. His OPR&D paper is in the diazomethane article (though not by my hand) - He had stories. Apparently the explosive limits reported in the literature varied too much for his liking, so he conducted his own studies at a multi-kilo scale (on a military site), so as to be sure. Made a big bang.

Single carbon compounds always seem to have anomalous properties, often usefully. The aqueous pK_a of methanediazonium ([CH₃N₂]⁺) is estimated to be <10 (doi:10.1039/C6CC03561B) so its not really acidic.

I don't really understand why you can't just make it in-situ the same way you make all the other diazo compounds: methylamine, nitrite and acid? Project Osprey (talk) 15:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Regarding the TMS analog, our article does indeed note "When used as a reagent in organic synthesis to convert carboxylic acids to their methyl esters, trimethylsilyldiazomethane undergoes acid-catalysed methanolysis, forming diazomethane in situ.[8]". I think I only made diazomethane once, just cookbooking with Aldrich's kit to avoid boom. The Org. Synth. prep using diazald does mention several routes from methylamine.[1] DMacks (talk) 17:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well, doi:10.1002/anie.200702131 provides an alternative TMSCHN2 mechanism. Someone should update our article:) DMacks (talk) 17:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
