Hi Martin, this is it: as simple as that. Wim van Dorst 20:36, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
Hi Wim- does this template go on the talk page, or the article page? Does it apply if we use any of the templates, or just certain ones? Thanks, Walkerma 21:25, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
These wikiproject templates go on the talk page. Sofar 'we' have defined only two templates in the wikiproject: the {{chem-stub}} which can be used both in stub articles or on their talk page, and this {{chemistry}} which you see above. Note that on the Chemistry Wikiproject wikipage, I preliminarily defined this one template as applicable to all Chemistry wikiprojects and its sub-wikiprojects, although that can be elaborated if we choose so.

Thanks! I see I missed the bit about the talk page before (sorry!), but this clarifies it all nicely. Walkerma 22:23, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Whoever did the bulk of the work here did a good job, because this is a nfty report. One suggestion: the article conflates anhydrous and hydrated forms, which can be misleading and even dangerous. They are quite different chemical critters. --Smokefoot 18:29, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I wrote a lot of this. Yes, I know they are very different beasts, just like with SnCl4 and AlCl3. You're doing a nice job on rewriting the page, keep it up! I think it would be hard justifying separate pages for the anhydrous and the hydrate, we need to find a format that works well without conflating. What you see is my attempt, in effect a first attempt, I started from a blank page. Whatever you can come up with to improve on that may be worth discussing, perhaps we can apply an ideas you have to the many other halides that have similar issues. One minor thing, Greenwood & Earnshaw say anhydrous FeCl3 is brown-black; where are you getting the green-black color from? Thanks for your excellent work, Walkerma 19:41, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
Well you did a great job on a species whose applicability I underestimated until reading your article and confirming it in my sources. About the color, I'll recheck, because I did feel uncomfortable with the factoid I found.--Smokefoot 04:21, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, who'd have thought it - reflected vs transmitted light! You learn something every day! Thanks for digging that up, Smokefoot, now we have an interesting quirky property instead of a boring piece of data! Walkerma 06:03, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Sirs,
a discussion about the commerciality of "Suppliers" is started here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:213.188.227.119
My main sorrow is, that these "suppliers" are in front of the literature and external links, making the commercial links seem to be more important than the scientific contents.

Best regards
Can someone confirm if it is possible to use FeCl3 when one whant proof of H2S in a gas and how it would be done. / Martin
Id just like to say thank you to whoever added the little part about using the ferric chloride test to detect for phenols. i need info on this test for my a level coursework and its proved very helpful as there is not much info on this test anywhere else onthe net! Thank you wikipedia!
