Keresluna, I'll review this, but it may be a little slow with Easter intervening. Just a couple of drive by comments for now.

• Some text is unsourced
  • Sourced
• Capitalise Lewis acid
  • Capitalized
• Last sentence I think has a grammar error, and can we have a formula for the red-linked compound
  • Fixed.
• Check wikilinks, eg benzene, nanoparticles, visible light
  •  Done
• "As of 2003" Do you mean "since 2003" or is this information 20 years out of date?
  • Changed it to 'since 2003'.
• They are both hygroscopic might be clearer as Both monomer and dimer are hygroscopic
  • Changed to 'the anhydrous and monohydrate are both hygroscopic.'
• to reform the anhydrous form is a bit clunky
  • Changed the phrase.
• Gold(III) chloride reacts with benzene (and a variety of other arenes) under mild conditions (reaction times of a few minutes at room temperature) to produce the dimeric phenylgold(III) dichloride:[14] better as Gold(III) chloride reacts with benzene under mild conditions (reaction times of a few minutes at room temperature) to produce the dimeric phenylgold(III) dichloride; a variety of other arenes undergo a similar reaction:[14]
  •  Done
• tetrabutylammonium chloride, tetrabutylammonium tetrachloraurate. Formulae perhaps?
  • No need, the formula can be determined from the name.
• Several other apparent book refs don't have page numbers for the referenced text, #9, 10, 12, 13
  • Rm 13, added page numbers for the rest.
• You twice say it decomposes in light, but don't give the products. Are they the elements or AuCl and Cl2?
• AuCl - name?
  • Added gold(I) chloride.
• ref 3 Worldcat isn't a suitable link, better to have no link at all, especially as you are not linking to any real content. Also needs page numbers
  •  Done
• I don't think aqua regia is italicised these days
  • Removed. Keres🌕Luna ^edits! 17:57, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keres🌕, you may have missed the light decomposition commment Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:50, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

I am still working on that, as I cannot find the decomposition products. Keres🌕Luna ^edits! 13:48, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

• Keres🌕, if you can't find that, that's OK. I'd guess it's the elements, but it doesn't appear to stated anhywhere I've found Jimfbleak - talk to me? 09:08, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

  Ok, I still cannot find the decomposition products. Do you have any more comments? Keres🌕Luna ^edits! 21:56, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
