[edit]

The article reads like a school kid's project (my edit included!). What: are we to anticipate articles on lanthanide halides? alkali metal chalcogenides? Nickel phosphine complexes. Pnictnides of the transuranics? This kind silliness makes Wikipedia look comical and, I guess, slightly endearing. No harm done, I guess.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:55, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. This is a notable part of solid state physics and materials science. While the definition of the term as "compound of a transition metal with oxygen" looks trivial, the electronic other properties are not so trivial. If there are books with that title, I don't see why there can't be an encyclopedia article about them. --Itub (talk) 07:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
