Peer review[edit]

Notes

  • In the introduction the "e.g." should have a reference or name of such molecule. Don't all molecule of three atoms have to be coplanar? The reference to Paul Schleyer seems to be out of place, maybe move his name to See Also. I suggest altering "by coordianting it" to "upon coordination to".
  • In synthesis, I suggest making a figure representing the synthesis by Braunchsweig or of the X-ray crystal structure.
  • In "Structure and Bonding", the title should be changed to "Structure and bonding". Has no one studied the B3 system using a coupled cluster method? It may be beneficial to create an MO diagram of the sigma and pi orbitals and symmetry labels as a figure.
  • In "B3+", I would suggest being careful not to delve to much into any single paper, and consider the field as a whole. Is the NBO figure of the same orbital from two different perspectives necessary in two perspectives? If perspective matters, I suggest creating a .gif of the molecule rotating. The word "nonnegligible" should be "non-negligible".
  • Please remove the [TO FOLLOW: ] lines from the text.
  • In "B3", I make the not that all molecules of three atoms have to be flat and triangular.
  • In "B3R32-", what is a formal bond order of 4/3?
  • In "Spectroscopy and Spectometry", the title should be "Spectroscopy and spectrometry". I would suggest removing the word "Interestingly" as the article should be objective. The third paragraph in this section seems to be unrelated to the article.
