Response to Peer Review
[edit]Thank you for the helpful feedback.
Since the "removes a hydrogen" part in the lead seems redundant, I have changed this back to “deprotonation” but I have made sure to hyperlink this in case someone needs clarification. They will easily be able to check the link to the wikipedia article and understand.
You are correct that the information on the right in the infobox (containing the cas number, picture, etc.) will stay.
You suggested to include adding some information about the history of its use as a ligand and the practical qualities. I have added an applications section that includes some information about the uses of cyclopentadienyl complexes. This demonstrates the importance of the cyclopentadienyl anion ligand. I did some research on the history of the cyclopentadienyl ligand and I did not find it that interesting or that relevant to include (also there was not much history on the actual cyclopentadienyl anion ligand, but on other things like ferrocene).
Furthermore, you commented on checking whether the YouTube video and some of the other website sources are acceptable. I have done some research and Youtube videos are not reliable sources. However, I have kept the Youtube video because I think it simply explains information for the general public. I have added many more peer-reviewed and reliable sources (around 8 additional compared to my first draft) throughout the writing to back up claims. LibreTexts Chemistry is a peer-reviewed source that should be acceptable. I have also tried to include more than one citation for important claims as well as different types of sources for the same claim (primary and tertiary sources).
You recommended that I add more images of some Cp metal complexes and to show an image of the possible hapticities of Cp as a ligand. I have added an image of the eclipsed and staggered ferrocene as well as the structure of the general metallocene. I added an image of the cyclopentadienyl anion ligand bound to a metal in three different ways showing hapticities of 1, 3, and 5.
Thanks again!
