Group 7 element Peer Review[edit]

Hi Kendahl, the application section you've been working on looks good! The original article is lacking a lot of references, so if you were able to find the citations for the information already present, that would be a great addition. For the history section, I would recommend moving the discussion about Mn to the beginning of the section, as it is currently sandwiched between two sentences regarding rhenium. You could probably get away with splitting up the info about Mn into its own paragraph, as its history is drastically different in contrast to the other three species. Be sure to move over your section on rhenium abundance. I also see that you have the structures of both facial Mn(R-bpy) and Re(R-bpy)(CO)3 included in your draft, but these are quite redundant, so I would recommend moving only the more relevant structure over to the live article.

Group 7 element Peer Review 2[edit]

Really like the changes you made! You expanded the page in a really useful way and I think the applications section is important. My main concern would be it's not currently very accessible to a broad audience. Terms such as "selectivity" and "stability" maybe could use links or definitions in the context of catalysis. Usage of the ligand abbrevations like "Re(R-bpy)(CO)3X" is certainly necessary, but maybe an additional sentence briefly explaining that these are ligands coordinated to a transition metal complex and a link to another page explaining that would be helpful.
