In this video I am synthesizing the ligand 1,3,5,7-Tetraphenylcyclooctatetraene and using it to produce an air stable Uranocene derivative. It has no known applications and is essentially for (limit) testing chemistry and making weird things. A continuation of the video where I made Uranium tetrachloride for this purpose.

Love video! It is not often we see uranium coordination chemistry :) Just a practical note: alumina is a lot heavier than silica, so it does not form a slurry. Probably you observed that yourself. In labs, everyone I talked to just dry-pack it, as it sediments faster than you can pour it, and it is heavy enough that it does not dusts everywhere like silica. For the future, just pour how much you need, and flow solvent through the column (if needed, use what came from the column again once or twice). A lot better working in the alumina case. Can not wait for your next video!

Are you sure the "UV-LED" actually puts out the right spectrum? Oftentimes those UV led chips put out light more in the UVA range, UVC chips are pretty hard to make and expensive (and currently only exist down to a certain wavelength). For quite many reactions in photochemistry, as long as the lower wavelengths do not produce a particularly nasty byproduct in your specific reaction, I think currently mercury lamps are the best option. Also you get very high Lower-Wavelength-UV output compared to the higher NM wavelengths so the lighting time can be lower.
@JJayzX

I was thinking the same thing. The light looked purplish instead of blueish. The LED chips themselves look like the typical kind and not the all-metal type for UVB/C.

Filtering hot solvent always seems like a bad idea to me, especially during crystallization. I recommend filtering the benzene, then adding the hexanes. Also, next time you place in the freezer to get crystals put it in the freezer in an insulated container, like a styrofoam box full of packing peanuts, to slow the rate of cooling to a couple days.

While working in a lab can be very enjoyable, hearing someone say a couple liters through column cromatograph (saying takes a couple seconds) is so much more fun than taking all that, perhaps in 10-20ml and doing TLC or whatever. In literature breaking K with glass is no problem, one can always say "Added x amount of K with crushed glass imbedded" and everyone keeps wondering if the glass is an essential catalyst or what :D To meaasure small amounts of products it is always possible to make a solution of it and evaporate it in a smaller measured container. I did that when I once had only 1mg of stuff to synthesize with and there is no other way to measure it but in a tiny container. Measuring the products was way more fun! :D

As some other people are saying, that UV lamp is most likely fake. If it was using UVC leds the inside of those 5050 (i think) chips would be gold plated instead of dark red. Most UVC lamps glow sky blue but check with a UVC test card to be sure.

in like the 2010s i remember reading about uranium sandwich scaffolds that were showing really good promise for improving the magnetic resolution/density on hard drives. they were having issues though trying to get to a practical curie temp above room temperature but it was my understanding that the F and D blocks of uranium could give you either really dense and descrite 1's and 0's or very stable 1's and 0's when compared to typical hard drive tech. obviously SSD's made this a mute point but at the time ssd's were like 5-10$ / gig and had questionable longevity/stability. here we are now though.

Perhaps the photo-reaction failed in part due to the UV source? I’m a super nerd with lightning, and I can tell you all LED bulbs that advertise UVC are fake. There is exactly 1 company in the world right now that I know of that is producing true deep UV LEDs in the 260nm range, and those diodes are almost $10,000 a watt at the moment. Most LEDs sold as “UV” are 395nm UV as well, which isn’t exactly great for most applications that call for long wave UV. Perhaps trying that reaction with a filtered 365nm UV LED source (which have become readily available and cheap over the past few years) or, if you are allowed, a low pressure mercury sterilizing bulb, would yield much better results.

@Chemiolis
@Chemiolis 10 ай бұрын
There are multiple problems when starting with a primary amine to make a quat salt via CH3I. The first thing is the formation of salt as a byproduct which cannot be removed with the acetone wash, and since the product is a salt too it makes it more complicated. Also. I have heard of experience of others that tested this on many substrates and that it works poorly. The salt potentially hinders the reaction. In this case I was just following the literature, but I did think of doing CH3I triple methylation and I was adviced against it.
