We might revamp this homework project

[edit]

One possible trajectory for this homework essay is to use it as a starting point for an article on homogenous catalytic hydrogenation. There is no reason to disparage this thing, but we do not want to encourage a series on [your-metal-here]-catalyzed hydrogenation. If other editors have questions or concerns let me know. --Smokefoot (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at it, our article on hydrogenation is already well divided into homogeneous and heterogeneous sections. So we would have to be careful not to have this end-up as a content fork. Homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts are becoming more important industrially, particularly Rh,Ru,Ir-diphosphines, as they can work at loading of 0.01 mol% or below.--Project Osprey (talk) 15:56, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, good thoughts. I was feeling horrified with the predecessor article but should have looked around. Maybe we should redirect this thing to there. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:26, 23 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like a better option; once you take out the lead and generalized-comments, the remaining info is small enough to merged sensibly. I think the hydrogenation article could also do with a revamp, like a lot of our older top-level pages it's seen years of minor edits which have resulted in it becoming quite disjointed. --Project Osprey (talk) 10:22, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
