“We’ve got an 80-90% yield already and all I’ve done is weigh out one reagent.” That made me lose it, good stuff hahaha. As a clumsy chemist I can relate to that.

1:45 "a blank table and some powder. Is not the weekend..." What fine taste sir...

You have appeased the yellow chem gods with this video. Chasing/targetting yellow chemstry while working with extremely hazardous gases. May this be the “sacrifice” that enables your future work to succeed.

This has to be one of the most cursed chemistry videos on KZfaq. Almost every part of it, from using CCl4 to producing ozone from a homebuildt ozone generator housed in a plastic box (presumably as to not electrocute people via wet spills...). Not to mention the airborne tetravalent heavy metal complexes. My lab safety manual had an aneurysm followed by spontaneous combustion after witnessing that! Solid 8/10 I am thoroughly spooked and my jimmes are properly rustled.

"Reminds me in 8 month" my guy remembering corpse decaying into a squeleton take about this long

You know it's gonna be good when "tetroxide" is in the name

"small scale chemistry is not my forte" Neither is large scale bud. xD

It's been 8 months, this is a reminder to extract calcium from bones.

Here's your 8 month reminder about the calcium from bones extraction

I truly appreciate your willingness to potentially die for small interesting chemistry projects, it's truly inspirational

I went back to grade 12 chemistry and biology because of your channel, working my way up to a college level right now. Mostly because I hadn't done chemistry in 8 years and wanted to at least somewhat understand what you're doing. Thinking about going into biotech as a career path, seems like a lot of jobs in the field and I couldn't decide what to do with my life.

i dont want to see you die but god damn your way of describing chemicals is the reason i come to this channel, stay safe man

I AM STILL WAITING FOR CALCIUM FROM BONES , THIS IS YOUR REMINDER. IF YOU START NOW. BY OCTOBER 31 2021 WE MAY HAVE A VIDEO. PLEASE TO THE GODS OF NON YELLOW CHRMISTRY 💛 MAY WE HAVE OUR BONEY VIDEO!

gotta love seeing an upload 26 seconds after it was posted

I just had a moment of "Why is someone posting a video at 1 in the morning?", and then I remembered time zones exist.

0:55 Personally I think spooky chemistry content only needs one element: Fluorine.

"90% yield and I was just weighing on reagent" sums up most of my a-level chems and baking classes. Everything mostly worked out in the end, but the taste was off. The baking maybe not even that good.

"Spooky action at a distance" - wasn't that how Einstein described quantum entanglement?

A blank table and some powder, is not the weekend. A man of culture

11:30 time to steal your fingerprints

I used Osmium Tetroxide frequently to give a heavy metal contrast in keratin samples, sectioned for the electron microscope. I do remember having quite a few very dark floaters in my eyes for some years afterwards!

I was described as a "bucket chemist" by my teacher when I was studying "A" level chemistry at school. There are only four varieties of chemistry worth doing as far as I'm concerned: 1, Pretty colours 2, Nasty smells 3, Explosions and 4, Poisons. This one ticks boxes 1 and 4.

Ozone and RuO4? Real poison hours I guess. Also CCl4 so rip liver, very spooky

When I was young and innocent I wondered whether ruthenium might make good jewelry. Then I learned more about ruthenium... probably okay as metal, but I’d still worry.

I really do believe this is the best content on youtube. Thanks for rekindling my interest in chemistry

Damnit I love how you fear the colour “yellow”. Peeing must scare the crap out of you every morning!

If your career as a chemist ever goes down the drain you could be a comedian you crack me up every time man

This video was so spooky that it made yellow chemistry run down my pant leg and pool in my shoes

Ah yes RuO4, O3 and a big ass purple arc, this is indeed spooky

11:15 I was like "Oh god, change your gloves, change your gloves, pleeeease" (But I trust that you know what you're doing, much more so than I. Cool video!)

If you want something scary that's toxic, does some weird stuff, and is yellow, you could've just filled a jam jar with chlorine gas and poked a hole in the lid.

NOOOOOOOOO Tom I am coming back from the future to tell you not to extract the tar from bones.

"It's not just gonna be a blank table and some powder, it's not the weekend." *Proceeds to also bring out the milligram scale*

Searching E&F dictionary... "fumehood" not found

2 days since the vid- is this you tom? Or is this just a extractions and ire's greatest hits compilation?

I watch one damn NileRed video and after about 4 and a half hours, 3 or 4 different channels, and a couple puffs of the cheba, it's turned out to be an interesting evening of watching the wonderful world of molecules go haywire at the hands of educated and intelligent people who know what they are doing enough to share this and be alive enough to put out the next one :) Cheers from Denver.

I work with OsO4 in the lab with some frequency. Of all the things I work with, including life-threatening viruses, other compounds, and other fun things, OsO4 is definitely the material I have the greatest respect for. . . . . Why do I smell garlic and why did everything just go black?

Ay man, I just watched the video. You asked to be reminded in 8 months to extract calcium from bones to make a spooky video for Halloween. You have been reminded.

I'm at the end now. That's pretty bloody spooky. You're a genius in developing them the way you did.

I have never ever heard about such reaction during graduation. But goddamn, do I love the possibility of dying a horrible death by chemicals.

This was amazing 🤩 the fact that your ozone generator kept working by making a huge arc made me laugh out loud 🤣

this channel as a whole is just pure bliss to watch.

This made me wonder if you can make photographic prints from ruthenium somehow, i.e. ruthenotype ;)

“It’s not the weekend” Lol

Thanks for the spooky video! For a better print put a piece of glass with a fingerprint in a small container along with some superglue put onto a cotton ball or paper towel. Will work a lot better

Ur energy's great love ur vid thanks for ur passion of science

right after "stain my skin with ruthenium oxide" i got a loud obnoxious whiskey ad with no warning, very spooky and on topic

I have to say, short of working with hypergolic rocket propellants which are basically 50 shades of death that would kill you at least 7 ways before you hit the ground, this was probably one of the more dangerous things you could do.

that was really cool! love this channel

I remember that you could buy bottles of Carbon Tetrachloride as a dry cleaning agent when I was a school boy chemist. More scary was that in the early 1980s I was a computer operations manager working on mainframes, one day the computer centre's air conditioning (AC) system sprang a significant leak which required some pipework replacing; I vaguely recall a mild panic when the AC engineer started brazing copper pipe joints full of a refrigerant based on CCl4, there was a worry he was filling the machine room with phosgene!

'bout time for that "extract calcium from bones" reminder :D

Dude love the choice of music, got my sub.

imagine deliberately making yellow

2:28 that's a great start - put this in your portfolia, you'll get hired in no time!

so cool! thanks for the video! this was a cool informative chem video and extra interesting cuz of the carbon tet! sweet

"#2, you should be able to do some sort of spooky action at a distance". Wait, we're bringing physics into it now? Damn, back to the books....

Great hellish content!!

the way the paper moves while you hold it made me think it would spill a second time

A reminder to do an extraction of Calcium from bones, precisely 8 Months later. Love your videos, man!

I enjoyed this, please do more :D

So it's been 8 months here to remind you of the bones

Love the Hills Hoist! Looks very familiar that backyard/shed.

Wow. Fixed my day with this video

love this channel!

my favorite Halloween chemistry is making a flame with trimethylborate (boric acid and methanol). lovely green color

I'd like to see more content like this. Just some mini-vids between main ones. It's pretty awesome.

Ah yes, Calcium from bones. Still waiting for that video from Cody.

Sweet Halloween video

NO DYING! Dyeing is ok.

A round of applause good sir. Not every chemist needs a million dollar lab set up to make great chemistry videos. I can appreciate the resourcefulness.

Yo it's been 8 months. Here's your reminder to extract calcium from bones.

What a spooky video. Everyone seems to have spooky chem videos now.

"Spooky Action at a Distance," Bell would be proud, but Einstein might be a bit perturbed.

Thank you for the music :)

I never knew about this channel all I knew was explosion and fire glad I found it

I love how all textbooks cite the rxn of osmium tetroxide with allkenes to perform oxidative cleavage and diol formation, but like.....I don’t know of ANY lab crazy enough to ever purchase and actually use osmium tetroxide, it is a DEADLY, DEADLY reagent. I’m scared of it, and I have worked with fluoroantimonic acid, and cyanogen bromide

Two liquids that won't mix... that is some really cool reaction! Inspiring :)

"I was thinking about spooky things and then I thought of yellow chemistry; yikes!"

Spooky action at a distance!

Enjoy that warmth for 4 months. I've got 4 months of rain, slushy snow, ice and darkness ahead. I'd rather take the hot weather and deadly sun rays.

Please become the yellow superhero we all need, upside down man

this is on brand for halloween. YESSS

I love spooky action at a distance

The most visuallty appealing part of that for me was watching that emulsion of carbon tet break after shaking

I've dreamt up some stinky synthetic applications for this stuff, such as preparation of tropinone from dibenzyl ketone.

Intentionally doing yellow chemistry. That's courage.

So cool and so spooky!

Big yes to more exotic metals and hopefully their possibly reactive fulminate versions. Teach me

Came for the chemistry, stayed for the seemingly inevitable death.

Ozone generator... that reminds me of when my radio teacher turns on the *literal Tesla coil* he keeps in the classroom for new students, no safety gear or anything, just stand back and hope to dear god nothing catches fire.

Finally another video!!!

Lost at least 10% yield just from measuring the reagent ah yes, enslaved chemistry

Great alchemy video mate.

This is your reminder to be reminded in 2 months to extract calcium from bone.

You're certainly one of my favorite creators here in lubetube. I hope you'll make mang more.

Hey, it's been 8 months. Extract some calcium from bones! 0:43

Interesting and Toxic, The way we love it.

Spooky Scary Ruthenium Tetroxide send shivers down your spine~

If bad work practices were Halloween content then it would be Halloween all year round on this channel

The spookiest reqction ive seen so far was you maming fuinatong silver with the runaway reaction
