Extractions&Ire - 2020-02-02
We need some of the energetic compound 5-nitrotetrazole, so we make it. What could possibly go wrong?! (Warning: contains a few moments of high panic) Thanks to ReactiveChem for a good video reference on this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC76v7IV2VacsYmQ2DcNMEUg The patent I am following: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9598380B2/en Subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ExplosionsAndFire Twitter: https://twitter.com/Explosions_Fire Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ExplosionsandFire Join the Discord!! https://discord.gg/VR6Fz9g Music: from Aphex Twin's soundcloud dump, track name: Pretend Analog Extmix 2b
I love the combination of an aussie bloke in his shed and compounds of questionable liability :D -Cheers from Amsterdam :)
I prefer a dutch guy in his shed with plants of questionable legality.
Questionable "liability," or "lability?"
@Tech Obsessed gotta be both to be a good chemist.
Sounds like something I should be doing...
@Coma White Or fungi of questionable legality
Ah I forgot to insert the "THEN FILTER, WASH WITH A LITTLE ICE COLD WATER AND DRY THOROUGHLY ON THE PUMP", you'll just have to imagine it
Even though I'm not involved with chemistry in any professional or casual sense, I still kind of wish I understood this in-joke.
@J H chem is on bitchute, still quite some time passed from last upload
Lol. So glad they re-uploaded.
Well yes, i saw what you did 😂
@sixstringedthing If you don't get the reference, Chemplayer was a channel on youtube with well produced videos of interesting chemistry. Since a lot of preparations involve vacuum filtering the product, washing and drying on the pump, you'd often hear that line. Always delivered in the female TTS voice they used. Some of their videos proved too controversial for youtube and their channel got deleted. Which was a real shame.
Yes, this is just about the perfect amount of questionable shed chemistry that I need in my life right now.
Ta mate.

always fun when all your chemicals are expired
Yeah I am very slow to do things, and I sometimes really get punished for it
@Enraged Lemon some do. Some are unstable enough to react with oxygen and/or sunlight if you leave then to long
@Enraged Lemon it can depend on the chemical. Over time they can evaporate and other such changes like oxidizing, but generally once you keep them sealed in appropriate conditions you should be good. Just check before you use them.
@nobody A big exception is ethers, which can form highly explosive peroxides. Never use expired ethers. My professor once told me a story of a researcher who tried to open an old container of ether and blew away his stomach.
@Zoofus good to know
Your equipment is beautifully ghetto
i subscribed as soon as i saw the broken test tube being used to pour acid, we need to start a gofundme to get nilered to send him some better glass!!
Looks Like a method Lab LoL
Like a Meth lab
Foxtrot Delta What he said definitely meant that his extreme skill, means he doesn’t need good equipment, just his mind.
And I pointed out that the idea that skill transcends good tools is pretty silly. A masters skill is in fact always capped by his tools.
The fact that he’s scraping by, isn’t a very great testament to his skill, so much as it signifies that he’s reached a level of skill that means he is being held back by his poor tools. Which isn’t really very extraordinary in and of itself. To see his skill with better equipment would be a better testament to his skill.
@Frogz That's a broken graduated cylinder, you philistine!
It’s always a happy day when I see a notification that you’ve uploaded on either of your channels. Your stuff is seriously my favorite on YouTube
Thanks mate!
High-level energetic chemistry in a rusty shed.
You are my spirit animal.
I think more Chemists should use random profanity in their explanations.
If the company didn't want you to name them, I was 100% sure they weren't sponsoring the video.
I mean honestly, I asked and I never saw a reply, so I just assumed
Probably a fair assumption.
I'm sure they simply couldn't come up with a polite enough way to say "LOL, no fucking way bro, but thanks for asking". :)
@Extractions&Ire Yep. Better safe than sorry.
sixstringedthing We would highly appreciate that you do not disclose any information about our company. However, we are appreciative of your question.
something you never wanna hear your chem teacher say, "woah I did the thing! Sick!"
Hopefully your chem teacher is also not teaching explosives synthesis from their shed
I love that you show your errors. It's both fun to watch, and demonstrates important points about how things CAN turn out, and how to identify and address problems.
All your content is so very entertaining, your chaotic energy paired with toxic and energetic compounds is the perfect combo! I get so pumped whenever I see you've posted
9:37 "I have quite a bit of Nitric Acid. That's not a flex, it's just a point." I laughed a little harder than I should have, there.
Good stuff.
"Woah! Ah, it did the thing! Holy shit, look at that" me to my PI when I finally get good data mate.
Yeah bloody oath, I feel that
I like to imagine that there is a place where everyone uses a Private Investigator for stuff, and you both live there.
When you're in a community where saying you have quite a bit of nitric acid can be seen as flexing...
When the solution started bubbling and temp inc, i was like oh shit. The think calming thoughts didn't help. It feels like you're always 5cm away from death somehow.
It was a little scary! And avoidable, if I'd been better!
@Extractions&Ire also is it not possible to do nitration after removing nh2by diazodization and then H2po2 to remove the diazonium salt? You've got soany nitrogens i think just dilute hno3 would do it on the ring.
Or does it explode somewhwre
@Extractions&Ire also I'm no chemist, I'm just a highschool student remembering all the organic reactions for marks
Not exactly sure but you can't nitrate it directly, the ring is pretty weird and doesn't behave how a benzene group would
Yeah, this is Australia. We are ways 5cm away from a deadly animal
always looking forward to new vids! really glad to see you're back at your old antics of seeing how many nitrogens you can squeeze into a single compound.
I love how not oxygen sensitive your chemistry is, it really makes me weep for the procedures I have to follow
Often I think about doing some air sensitive chemistry, like getting an argon cylinder, setting up some sort of glove box... but then I think about how unforgiving most of it is, and how I probably couldn't pull it off
@Extractions&Ire Ever thought about finding a compound to use as an inert liquid seal? Something nonreactive but less dense than the product that's oxygen sensitive, so a layer of it could float on the reaction vessel... I'm probably talking about unicorn piss, but hey, it's not yellow.
@Extractions&Ire now that I would love to see. The ghetto glove box made entirely from what you can get at the hardware store! What about for your 33.5k subscriber special????? 👀👀
You should do a video on perchloric acid and some cool reactions with it, btw love your vids. Keep up the the good work 👍
I think this is the most ghetto chemistry channel I've ever watched and I love it so far
As always, outstanding music choice. Thank you.
Yellow chemistry is bad chemistry
Don't get me started on Potassium Dichromate 😳
Ahh pisssssss
@Lucky That's not quite yellow.
@DukeOfEarle88 but who ever works with liquid chlorine?! honestly none of my colleagues have ever worked with it and even professor polyakoff from periodic videos saw it the first time in his life when they liquified it for one of their videos. he was quite suprised by the color also.
@Covodex florine is yellow
Love the videos, using these as a way to gauge my own chemist hobby while I'm in Uni. Great learning experience.
I really love this channel.
Keep the booms coming.
Love your videos! Keep it up can't wait for the next one.
Great video as always. I wish I had my own land away from people so that I could play more in depth in energetic chemistry, but unfortunately I live in an apartment town-home community. I usually just play with minerals now and extract whatever comes out of them with acids & bases. So, I have tons of unknowns along with more arsenic and thallium than I know what to do with, and yet, I still bought extremely pure arsenic and thallium online for my periodic table collection.
Another excellent video! Thank you!
You have managed to reignite my interest in chemistry
That's great to hear, glad you like the videos!
You are so smart. I love they way you make this entertaining while showing your huge, broad knowledge of chemistry.
I did the same thing the first time I did this synthesis lol.
Great job!
Please keep up the videos. I fucking love your videos. You 1) have a damn good sense of humor and 2) a really great mind for showing the rest of us just how beautifully terrifying our natural world really is. The sights sounds and surprises that are there in everything around us. But enough kissing ass. Keep up the channel please. But change nothing unless you can upgrade things you'd like to. I'd love to support your work a bit with what I can.
Always enjoy watching ya work, be safe and ty for every video =D
Thanks for watching!
Again your level of awesomeness can not be surpassed love this channel
The closest I've come to a chemical experiment was coke and mentos, but I could watch you for days.
Bloody fascinating stuff, mate. Keep up the good work.
2:30 I love the broken glassware😂😂😂
Giving me Nurdrage, Cody's Lab, NileRed vibes all at once. Glad I found this video, I'll be watching a lot more of yours in the future :)
Rewatching for the 4th time, and noticing the repurposed codeine cough syrup bottle. Gotta love it
Love the channel love the banter young chemist out here with the content
Fantastic videos made!
I would love to see if chlorine trifluoride really sets titanium and concrete on fire, if you could try that one that'd be the shit dank hill out.
I love energetic chemistry AKA explosives because they're awesome. I watch a professional do it so i don't have to.
Ahhh a run away reaction, god that's infuriating and scary when that happens.
Gods damn I love your work!
Hey i'm liking the use of "that chemical supplier" , one of my favourite suppliers!
"It did the thing" is literally me in every reaction
If you haven't done so already, please make a video on Cold Detonation Physics, like dry ice and powdered Mg.
"I have a lot of nitric acid!" Whoa okay, stay chill there. o_o
Can you mix the dry form NTZ into a stable plasticizer?
Love the content man
blindsniper35 - 2020-02-02
You're telling me chemical supply company didn't want to be associated with garden shed based energetics research shocking
Interesting video as always thanks
