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  • "As of 2003" Do you mean "since 2003" or is this information 20 years out of date?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?
  • 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
I am still working on that, as I cannot find the decomposition products. Keres🌕Luna edits! 13:48, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
