Intention to disambiguate term[edit]

After reading the full discussion of between PP and others regarding cyclopentadienyl anion and radical (cation omitted from those conversations), and after review of source materials available, I am writing to declare intent to expand this stub to include all aspects relating to this term that appear in reliable, scholarly secondary and tertiary sources, especially insofar as they reflect important aspect of historical and modern chemistry theory and practice.

Content here at Cyclopentadienyl was covering only the radical, with the anion covered at Cyclopentadienyl anion. Also, Cyclopentadienyl seems to refer most usually to the [common, stable] anion, not the [scarce, fleeting] radical. Therefore I've moved the content about the radical to Cyclopentadienyl radical.
After that, Cyclopentadienyl should NOT redirect to the radical, because the anion is more likely. Therefore I've made this page (Cyclopentadienyl) a disambiguation between the anion and the radical. -A876 (talk) 19:43, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
