I know you often ask to show ClF3, but it's too exotic even for this channel (at least for now, sorry). So, today I will show you reactions with iodine trichloride ICl3 ________________ Reaction timing: 1:58 ICl3 = ICl + Cl2 (ICl3 decomposition) 2:48 ICl3 + H2O (ICl3 hydrolysis) 3:20 ICl3 + KOH 3:48 I- + IO3- + H+ 4:30 ICl3 + SnCl2 5:55 ICl3 + P 6:32 ICl3 + LiBH4 7:49 ICl3 + B10H14 9:18 ICl3 + N2H4*H2O ________________ Subscribe, bro! ^_^
Yeah, I'd avoid things whose incident reports have phrases like "The concrete was on fire."
There's so many passing anecdotes about ludicrously unstable compounds in that book that I get them mixed up sometimes. Getting a hardback copy of the reprint to Australia from Amazon US was pretty expensive, but I'll always regard it as some of the best bucks I ever spent. The chapter about experimental high-energy monopropellants is great, molecules with "an oxidising end and a reducing end, kept apart by nothing more than a pair of firmly crossed fingers".
Just use teflon it will be fine
@Copisetic 1 water soluable mercury is bad business. If you ever encounter something labelled "methyl mercury," dont take your eyes off of it, dont make eye contact, and back away slowly exactly how you came. If it ever gets on bare skin ypu can absorb a leathal dose faster than you can wash it off.
For clf3
@unknow unknown I suppose if we fund him for a new house he might do clf3. Because he will need one afterwards.
Dang, you know a compound is scary when even ChemicalForce calls it "too exotic" :P
How about ClF3, Dimethyl Cadmium, and Fluoroantimonic acid all in one episode. Hank Green did a SciShow about that, but all he did was talk about them. LOL Seriously, y’all messing with this kind of stuff scares the bejeepers out of me. My brother was lifeguarding at a small private swimming pool. Instead of adding HCL to pH adjust, then adding anhydrous sodium hypochlorite for biological control, the lifeguards decided to mix it all together and do it in one shot. When the green cloud started drifting across the water from the buckets they were swimming out with, I thought “Whatta curious thing.” Then we all got a whiff. By the grace of God, all that came of that was that we lay by the pool in agony for a while. Watching this guy brings that memory back full force.
@Lapis Lazuli Argon will (potentially) burn.
Liquid nitrogen will suppress a ClF3 fire, if it completely isolates the ClF3 from everything that isn't nitrogen or fluorides, but it won't stop it flaring back up as soon as the nitrogen evaporates (nitrogen has a much lower boiling point than ClF3).
@grommile ...you're telling me this stuff can set argon on fire?
@Lapis Lazuli yes
@Gerry James dimethyl cadmium is possible but fluorantimonic acid already been make
I heard it’s too exotic FOR NOW, so your saying there is a chance 😉. On another note, thanks for another great video!
One day i want to see that clip about clf3
For all the time spent cleaning watch glasses and test tubes. The mundane part of lab work... Thank you. It takes a lot of time to prepare for and clean up after most experiments.
All the most interesting & exotic chemicals are not cheap either - support Chemical Force via patreon . My favorite channel for unique experiment demonstrations not easily found elsewhere ❤💥
Not to mention storage its all fun and games till you have to store fuming nitric acid and other things more dangerous.
Have you ever released the deep lore on where you get enough high-quality obscure chemicals to use for youtube videos?
And in the description he said that he buys expensive reagents from sigma aldrich
Ebay
@fft2020 yeah there is a ton of stuff you can find on eBay, I've got a rather decent stock of chemical goodies through them, and prices are usually great. I wouldn't exactly buy on eBay if I was doing something critical though, you don't really have any guarantees on purity since a lot of the chems are produced in China, but for general fuckery in the garage, perfect.
@inanimate user
Know? How exactly? Hobbyists can't buy from the major lab chemical supply houses, thanks to WOT and WOD. They don't have any way to enforce quality control on a supplier on the other side of the world, or in many cases, sufficient analytical equipment and knowledge to verify what they have received. A lot of us have to make do with OTC and synthesize/extract/purify a lot of our own reagents. Frankly, that is a large part of the fun.

Screw lab safety! I want my super powers now!!!
(Actually, I do try to be safe. I survived my youthful immortality and work with energetics full time now... Still can count to 10 without taking my shoes off too.)
Oh Feliks I do so love the halogens. Thank you for another fantastic video.
Love the peach colored flame when you reacted red phosphorus with the reagent. Another excellent video. Enjoyed. Well done.
wow, i don't think i've ever seen two solids react so quickly just in the presence of each other.
i'm assuming it's the sublimated iodine vapors that get the reaction started, causing it to heat up and melt, at which point the reaction starts cascading forward? just a guess, but i'm not sure.
but really interesting to see two solids immediately react this violently on contact. fascinating
Well that's nifty. It's not too often you see two dry powders react like that on such light contact. Great video as always, keep em coming!
Ow how I do love this account. It's all the chemistry I can't do
science_and_anonymous Same! I have had...issues...obtaining certain reagents online before. It's great to be able to observe some of these rxns without needing to obtain the actual chemicals!!!
@Pink Droid r/woosg
We need IF7, XeF6 and ClF5
@Eduardo Gentile well you probably haven't heard of XeO4!
@Come up With unique username #VoteBlue Octavalent xenon time! Perxenates (XeO₆⁴⁻) also exist, and are powerful oxidizers. They are more stable, however, than xenon tetroxide.
@Come up With unique username #VoteBlue I did and IIRC Xenon-Oxygen compounds are less stable than Xenon-Flourine one, maybe I am wrong tho
@Eduardo Gentile xenon oxides are extremely unstable, especially xenon tetroxide
We need UF6
Wow, this channel get better every video! I really loved this one, especially the reaction with decaborane, iodine is a really cool element, i sublimized some this afternoon, anyway really impatient to see the next video!
Oh wow i love your channel soo much! It gives a whole new meaning to the words ''reaction channel" ;)
Says he needs to open it very carefully shows a half smashed to hell test tube 😂 love it dude your on the way to being one of the mammoth chem videos
Imagine being asked to handle chlorene trifluoride, probably the world's worst chemical that reacts with nearly anyting and can burn through concrete
it´s is not that dangerous, students in my University made it as part of second semester module.
@Paul what, ICl3 or ClF3?
@Costi It was IClI3. I did not notice He was talking about Fluorine
@Paul damn shame. If it was ClF3, I woukd have applied as student there on the spot
In my first semester of organic chemistry, the most dangerous compound we used was acetyl chloride, which was kept in an airtight bottle with a special needle-loaded syringe to put it in the reaction vessel. Hearing this honestly makes me a bit scared to take second-semester chemistry, not just because of the ridiculously difficult subject matter.
That's exactly what I was asking myself these days.. we know what the halogens looks but how about them bonded together. Nice video!
I would love to see some of these exotic compounds reacted with something mundane as a kind of baseline to show what they do to something everyone can access, perhaps some kind of delicious hazelnut spread?
I love your work though :)
Another excellent soundtrack choice, my favorite reaction was the one at 3:45 where the elemental iodine was released, relatively simple, still excitingly violent but not too energetic, and beautifully colorful. The shot you included of the iodine vapor exiting the top of the tube was very artful!
(The red phosphorus slo-mo shot is tied with this for my favorite! And the one after it at around 7:20)
Do you the name of the soundtrack? I would love to find the song.
Thank you! your close-ups of the reactions are superb.
When I looked up stannic chloride, Wikipedia said:
"… When a bar of tin is bent, the so-called tin cry can be heard as a result of sliding tin crystals reforming; this trait is shared by indium, cadmium, and frozen mercury."
Tin is commonly used, but is not often seen in isolation. However, if you—or Cody, for that matter—have mercury and liquid nitrogen, it would make an excellent short vijayo.
Brilliant. Man, your English has come along a ton since the first time I saw you. All the best, I hope for a long and happy life for you and all your loved ones. Thank you for educating us a bit more.
Lovely reactions! Really love the purple fumes when Iodine sublimes.
I can't believe how packed your videos are with amazing demonstrations and explanations! I hope you keep it up for a long time!
Wow! Thank you very much! I really like the slo mo closeups of them catching fire!
I love the cool fumes and this channel is growing so quick, Congrats!, I was wondering if you could make a video on nitrogen triiodide , maybe even nitrogen trichloride that be cool keep up the great work
stunning work! great choice of music for this one!
Cool stuff!! Thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos! Cheers :)
I love how quickly the reagent bubbles away in hot water
Some incredible reactions. Great footage too. Great job.
This stuff is truly fascinating to me now...wish I had paid more attention in high school chemistry. Thanks for this...
Lately I've been wondering if tin (IV) chloride could be used as a friedel-crafts catalyst. I feel like it would be easier to purify than the AlCl3 procedures on sciencemadness and chem player, seeing as it can be distilled rather than sublimated.
Your channel is criminally under viewed. Some of the best chemistry content on youtube. Thank you for all the time, effort, and money you put into these videos.
Nice to hear :)
Nice video! I would like to see some reactions with P4 :D
"Must be very careful opening this hazardous chemical"
Throws vial on ground busting open after dremel fails.
Also ClF5/ClF3 are like the holy grail chems that would be 100k sub celebrations. Heck even F2 gas would be.
nice video:) hope you make more videos like this. I'm really interested in halogen chemical compounds
I observe the reactions between simple chemical conections are most violent.
Beyond them two this substantions, a little thebstraw and can make the fire.
I was wondering, why the ICl3 was red. I made some quite a while ago by reacting iodine and chlorine, which gave beautiful yellow crystals. Nice video as usual!
Sounds epic
The surface will darken over time, even in an ampule. ICl3 really doesn't like to exist.
My avi is mixed iodine chlorides from when I made this stuff. That was a fun experiment :) Most of these reactions were new to me though. Great video as always!
Love your channel. Hope to see you grow real soon💜💜💜
Discovering and isolating iodine must have been amazing.
What are these weird colors?!
Very interesting. Almost as much as how you put your microphone on your beard :p
Insta-sub :D
Do you have tetramethylammonium nitrate or similar? Could make for an interesting video. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are fascinating. I had no idea chemical reactions would interest me until I stumbled upon your channel. Who knew?!
Love your channel. Is it possible to add references to journals describing some of your reactions. It would be very helpful. Cheers
I'm gone for a while from the internet and i come back to this
Keep it up mr. chemical force, only you
"This must be done very VERY carefully"
broken bottle in next shot
Can you do the reaction with LiBH4 on a grey background? It looks so amazingly colorful, but the white drowns out all the colors. :(
I thought about it, but then iodine vapors wouldn't be visible on this kind of background
@ChemicalForce Hm. Maybe do it in the dark?
There are two elements, which I would appriciate very much if I see. First one is Little Francium thrown in water, the other is (dont know its name other than) Ununpentium.
Your channel is amazing. I wonder why ain’t you got many more subscribers yet
So, as much as I love explosions and fire and exotic reactions, what is the most inert substance known? Though I may be thinking of non-reactive....I know nothing about chemistry sorry.
It's probably elemental helium.
@Alex Potts Ne!

Let's open the ampoule, this must be done very-very carefully.
Next frame: Ampoule smashed to bits
