Lead
Guiding questions:

She provided a lead for the article, but I feel that it is a bit short and could benefit from more elaboration. Additionally, I was confused by the mention of zirconium analogue and would appreciate a Wikipedia page link to clarify it. While the lead does introduce the compound, it would be helpful if it also mentioned the importance of the compound. A brief sentence highlighting the significance of the compound would suffice. Furthermore, I felt that while the lead mentions the compound, it focuses more on the points that will be covered in the article, rather than the compound itself. Improving on this aspect would make the lead more powerful.

Content
History

I noticed that she has a Titanocene bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene complexes figure in her History section. She explained how these complexes were developed and how researchers continued to work on them. However, she did not mention the reasons behind the persistence of researchers in studying bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene compounds. I wish she had provided some more insight on this

Crystal Structure

She mentioned how there have been many failed attempts to obtain crystal structures. I think showcasing one or two failed examples can solidify this section. Overall, I do think it is a good section.

Computation

I learned a lot from this section and found it helpful. However, it would be great if the author could elaborate on why researchers chose to use a B3LYP model for their DFT computations.

Original Synthesis

She has a picture of the reaction. I was wondering if Uwe Rosenthal were able to obtain a crystal stucuture of their product?

Variations

She has diagrams for everything she describing which helps visual learners. I wonder, why was one of the variation zirconium complexes? What are their chemical and physical properties?

The metal-alkyne interaction and general reactivity

I really like this pergraph. I think she gives a lot of background infomration for the readers to understand the importance of the two different reactivity.

Representative reactions

I appreciate that she included various examples of reactions, but it seems like she only listed them without providing any context on their relative importance and properties. While it's okay to list reactions, I wonder if she could have elaborated more on each of them.

Recent Developments

I think it's great that she included recent developments and showed that people are still working on these types of complexes. I was wondering if there have been any recent developments in crystal structures.

IBO Analysis

It is great that she has her HOMO, LUMO, and overlay. I was wondering if you could analyze them and explain more what the HOMO and LUMO are saying.

Sources and References
She has all the links and everything is working smoothly. Additionally, she included Wikipedia links for words that already have a Wikipedia page, which was nice.

Guiding questions:


 * Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
 * Does the content accurately reflect what the cited sources say? (You'll need to refer to the sources to check this.)
 * Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
 * Are the sources current?
 * Are the sources written by a diverse spectrum of authors? Do they include historically marginalized individuals where possible?
 * Are there better sources available, such as peer-reviewed articles in place of news coverage or random websites? (You may need to do some digging to answer this.)
 * Check a few links. Do they work?

Organization
I think she does a good job of organizing her paper. She starts by providing great context, synthesizes her findings, and then discusses reactivity. I like her history section and I learned background context. I think she had a lot on her content section and was well organzed. However, I wish she could elborate on the IBO figures that she has.

Images and Media
I think she does a really good job on showing  figure representation of all the reactions she mentions. I think it may help the readers if she includes examples of crystal structures, if there are any.
