Rename and reorg?

I was thinking of moving and reorganizing this thing into an article on pi-radical anions. Those species are widely used so the resulting articla might be well consulted. Some possible content, borrowed from sodium nathphenide:

Sodium acenaphthalenide is milder by about 0.75 V, reflecting the milder reduction potential of polycyclic aromatic compounds.
Lithium biphenyl is a THF-soluble species related to sodium naphthalenide except that it is a poorer ligand.^[1]
Sodium 1-methylnaphthalenide is more soluble than sodium naphthalenide, which is useful for low-temperature reductions.^[2]
Sodium pyrene.^[3]

The rest of the content in this article superficially appears to be too generic. Alternative ideas and objections are welcome.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:33, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
