Wow that is a very difficult reaction you managed to do there! I would love to see some reactions with the cesium superoxide!
My next video will show a reaction of the cesium superoxide. Do you have anything particular in mind?
@Advanced Tinkering Well since it is a decent oxidiser maybe a strong reducing agent. Like cesium metal for example. :D
Next on Advanced Tinkering: "Let's make some Cesium-137."
This channel is becoming my one stop shop for all things Cesium, a most fascinating element. Great video, keep up the great work!
Also oof, that moment when you cracked it. Painful but glad you persevered.
Dude that was amazing ! I thought for sure it was going to fail; but no, instead we get yellow chemistry after all !
Thanks! :)
At 0:56 there is a mistake in the video. Cesium Peroxide is Cs2O2. Sorry for that!
In this video, I tried to show more of my thought process and the procedure itself. Let me know if you like it or if it is too lengthy and gets boring.
I think the general amount of information was great, it could be a bit tighter but i think that mostly comes with more routine and experience.
Which is great, because that means we get more videos ☺️👍
Enjoyed every second of it. Thank you
... the more narration and details the better, the type of people watching this want to know EVERYTHING!...thank you so much
I liked it just the way it was. Especially because you didn't sanitize the video by editing out the cracked vessel or just starting it over. Quite enjoyable, thanks for sharing
Additionally, cesium monoxide's formula is Cs₂O, not CsO. Cesium peroxide is Cs₂O₂, as you know, but it's also possible to make other cesium oxides, and you probably did, at least a little bit. At least three cesium suboxides are known, Cs₇O, Cs₄O, and Cs₁₁O₃, although I couldn't find specific names for them, and then there's the oxide between cesium peroxide and cesium superoxide: cesium sesquioxide (Cs₂O₃).
It's still a pleasure watching caesium drip into the glass .... TRUE words well spoken.
Physicist here working in X-ray Laboratory Astrophysics. Didn't know pipettes could work with vacuum pumps and flanges!
That's insane. thanks
Awww! I felt so bad when you said you cracked ghe reaction vessel 😲 what a shit! I admire your dedication and perseverance to this experiment 👏👏👏 new sub just for that alone 😂
Haha, yeah, that was pretty depressing. Thank you! Appreciate it!
This channel, and this video in particular is criminally underrated.
What an exercise in frustration and self hatred lol, I love how you beat yourself up over this stuff and get pissed off, the realness is much appreciated!
A pity there was a spill. Very interesting seeing the paramagnetism properties.
I love how you feel about pictures and video of rare substances needing to be available.
Great video as always!
Thank you! Likewise!
I feel like eventually you're going to make something noone has been crazy enough to try before.
After spilling, when you said “let’s go…”, that exact moment is a whole mood
Im new here but really awesome dedication to the experiment. Very interesting and informative. I totally appreciate your content and am excited to take a look at your library.
K02, there's something I haven't played with in 35 years... some neat stuff. Interesting to me that the cesium superoxide is almost identical in appearance to the KO2.
Many thanks for great content . All the best from Croatia.
I have that same o2 concentrator for recovery of my last pneumonia episode. Very reliable.
@12:47 Wie es Martin von Wintergatan beim MMX-Projekt so treffend ausgedrückt hat: "Pain is temporary, glory is forever"
ein thema ist mit dem Ofen und dem Bor-Silikatglas: Bei den hohen Temperaturen neigt das etwas zum "altern" und kriegt unter umständen mikrorisse. Deswegen werden Cerankochfelder eben nicht aus dem Bor-silikatglas gemacht. Quarzglas ist diesbezüglich gutmütiger.
Ansonsten: Trotzdem mega geiles fortgeschrittenes Gebastel!
Danke für den Hinweis! Hatte mich schon gefragt, warum im Paper Quarzglas verwendet wurde.
Nice work 👍
Such tenacity.
Very good video!
A good way to make alkali oxides peroxides and superixides (oh my) is to heat the alkali metal to bpiling and react the vapors with oxygen in a burner. The oxide is Cs2O, the peroxide is Cs2O2, and the superoxide is Cs2O4. The last demo was pretty neat. 🤓
Nope. superoxide is CsO2, no doubling of the stochiometry needed. For Cs2O2 (instead of CsO) however, you are correct because the (O2)2- anion is diatomic.
I think the magnet you use has a yoke, which makes the field very short range, compared to a separate magnet. That is important because you do not touch the paramagnetic substance.
Good video nice production
Really curious to see the CeO3 reaction ! Good work, can't wait for more stuff from you. Maybe a collab with NileRed would be thoughtful too :D
CsO3; Ce is cerium :P
5:34 very cool watching it go black surface
Your attention to practical detail is thorough, and fascinating to watch for these rarely videoed processes. However at 0:56 your formulae are incorrect. Cesium (mon)oxide is Cs2O and cesium peroxide is Cs2O2. Non-chemists may get confused.
Yes, you are right. I messed that up during editing.
Was watching an old nilered video, heard the term “super-oxide”, and here I am- 👍
Great to have you here! I hope you liked the video! :)
Really cool
This puts extra yum inside.
Super! Thank you very much!
Just what I could read in a bit of what you scrolled through, I was very intrigued! Do you have that paper to give away? ;)
This must be the 1st time I see a drill bit used as a chemistry lab tool
improvise adapt overcome
I would have expected the magnet to move the particles inside the tube but I didn’t see any internal movement, did it move lol, if not, I’m curious why not?
Excellent work there.
What's the purity of your argon?
Thank you. I am using Argon 5.0. So it is 99,999%.
@Advanced Tinkering Wow there's simply no doubt in your preparation ! When you brought up the scale I immediately thought about the magnet itself reacting with metal in the scale mechanism and then second later you brought up the foam :D Now seeing the super pure grade argon, great stuff.
would like to see a Diffractogram of that powder
Oh so gutget for you when you broke it :'( But you did good man! Push on through! <3
Any chance you have or could make some rubidium and then show its alloys with cesium and other alkali metals?
I was thinking about that for quite some time now. But rubidium chloride is pretty expensive and I currently do not have the money for it.
But as soon as I get some rubidium chloride I will make a video :)
The problem is, that the price is due to the rubidium. The tartrate is even more expensive.
But by now I allready made a video about the isolation of rubidium from rubidium chloride.
I half-expected you to end up with cesium argonide.
"I'm going to introduce oxygen to the mixture"
agitates it by tapping and shaking the compound
Cesium: "You must not like fingers." 💀
Suppose that your oven made of paramagnetic material. Could it be the parts of the oven that interacting with a magnet?
a question please, Cs is more reactive than Li, how come Li can rob it of its oxygen?
Happiness does not come from having much, but from being attached to little.
you is from Spain!
What uses are there for cesium oxide?
Would a tiny stir bar in the cesium be feasible. I know I have a couple that are the size of a tic tac candy.
It may help a little. But I don't think it would help a lot. And the sir bar would have to be a glass one. If it's PTFE you might have a bad day.

Reacted under 1 atm oxygen at 290 C for two weeks--that's someone who had a lot of hopefully justified confidence in their apparatus.
@erimeius - 2023-01-28
No doubt
@skuzlebut82 - 2023-11-03
It was 2 weeks with regular grinding, though. The apparatus didn't spend 2 weeks straight at 290C at 1 atm O2.
@MyWaifuNow - 2023-11-17
12:25 he literally says he doesn't heat it when he's away and the actual reaction time was 12 hours.
@sealpiercing8476 - 2023-11-17
@@MyWaifuNow Welp. You're right.
