Rhodocene is a organometallic compound with the formula [Rh(C5H5)2]. Each molecule contains an atom of rhodium bound between two planar systems of five carbon atoms known as cyclopentadienyl rings in a sandwich arrangement. The [Rh(C5H5)2] radical is found above 150 °C or when trapped by cooling to liquid nitrogen temperatures (−196 °C). At room temperature, pairs of these radicals join via their cyclopentadienyl rings to form a dimer, a yellow solid. Biomedical researchers have examined the applications of rhodium compounds and their derivatives in medicine and reported one potential application for a rhodocene derivative as a radiopharmaceutical to treat small cancers. This compound is synthesized by reacting rhodium chloride hydate, cyclopentadiene, and ammonium hexafluorophosphate.

 * Comment – The blurb is too short; it's well under 500 characters by my count, and the suggested range is 925-1025 characters. RunningTiger123 (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I fixed it. Keres🌑(talk • ctb) 16:03, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Support Oppose - the article contains several uncited statements. Gog the Mild (talk) 23:16, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Would it be possible to add citations for the uncited statements? I would offer to help, but this is very much outside of my wheelhouse, and I can understand Gog the Mild's oppose as it is less than ideal to run sometime on the main page that is not fully cited. Aoba47 (talk) 00:55, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Keres🌑(talk • ctb) 03:31, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the ping. There are still two uncited parts. There is this sentence, The chemistry of rhodocene is dominated by the drive to attain an 18-electron configuration., and the final paragraph of the Pentasubstituted cyclopentadienyl ligands subsection has an uncited portion. Aoba47 (talk) 04:43, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I cited the 18-electron drive on rhodocene, but I don't think we need a reference because it is a observation of multiple citations. Keres🌑(talk • ctb) 15:47, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
 * One of the featured article criteria is that "claims are ... supported by inline citations". Gog the Mild (talk) 16:06, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

 * I have scheduled the article, but the blurb above is only 824 characters. It needs to be a minimum of 925. (And a maximum of 1,025.) Could you pad it out a little here please? Thanks. Gog the Mild (talk) 15:54, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Done. Keres🌑(talk • ctb) 17:09, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
