Some pictures of my attempts at making YInMn blue.
The first attempt ended up reddish brown, don't know if it was the materials I used or something else. (Made the yttrium oxide from an ebay element
sample, didn't convert the manganse dioxide to manganese(III) oxide first.)
On my second attempt I first got a gray material covered with a thin bright yellow layer. After re-grinding it and heating it more (this time without
it being covered so it got lots of air.), when I took it out of the furnace it looked completely black at first but as it cooled it finally gained a
nice blue color.
I had almost lost hope of ever achieving blue at that point.

It looks great! The color is well saturated.

My girlfriend gave me empty bottles which are perfect for making alcohol burners  . Left is H3BO3 in EtOH, right is LiCl in EtOH (in reality it looks more red, on the photo it looks like calcium flame  ).
Just short question - does H3BO3/EtOH burner create significant amount of ester? I just wondering if I doesn't create some B2O3 aerosol in the room.

Very colorful picric acid synthesis from salicylic acid
Very colorful picric acid synthesis from salicylic acid. It went from colorless to vibrant red to orange (the pictures aren't in order), then when it
was added to cold water went the expected picric acid yellow. The last image is the recrystallization of it
Nuclear physics is neat. It's a shame it's so regulated...
Now that I think about it, that's probably a good thing. Still annoying though.

methanol with a nice wick
gives an almost invisible flame,
unlike ethanol which has a yellow tint that makes the desired colours less intense.
its a big difference.

I also tried methanol later. This time I replaced LiCl with CuCl2. And yes, flame has much better colour.

Yea, LiCl makes a pleasing red with methanol as seen here briefly in this bottle I used.

Yeah, I really love that red lithium flame. Everytime I read something about coloured flames or pyrotechnics, everyone always use strontium for red
flames, but lithium make more intense, richer red flame (and also that particular shade of red look nicer than strontium red).

IIRC H3BO3 is used as a quick test to distinguish methanol from ethanol, with methanol the flame is green, but it does not color significantly ethanol
you should not rely on such test too much, e.g. if the result is negative (no green flame) you are still not safe to drink such alcohol... I'm writing
this because we all here are of course chemists but some alcohol drinker(s) may visit this forum while looking for the information how to distinguish
these 2 alcohols
I wonder why the esterification proceeds with methanol and not with ethanol, whether it is because of kinetics/polarity/solubility or because common
ethanol usually contains water (most of available ethanol is azeotrope, anhydrous ethanol is very rare). If the reason is the second case then adding
something like 5% water into methanol should prevent green color of the flame while using anhydrous ethanol should color the flame to green.

Discovered some fluorescent marbles among my mom's collection the last time I visited. The green & white ones are radioactive so I assume it's
uranium. It's the milky part that fluoresces, though, which is different from eg depression glass. No idea what the orange is.

After a fairly long battle with cat converter substrate (legitimately sourced!), I'm now the proud possessor of some Palladium Chloride.
Maybe I shouldn't hit the dab before I post as I can't get the image to post' Here's a link. https://photos.app.goo.gl/jr8xHkNmJEpGKyEz5

Oooohhh. Very nice.
In the lab today, we oxidized fluorene (not fluorine, obviously). One of the students managed to turn it purple when dissolving it in glacial acetic
acid. No idea how that happened.

I am a fan of the "still life" genre in art. I was always amazed how a painter can catch some ordinary mess with proper light angle and color to make
from ordinary household items a piece of art.
It's a pity that painters never use a mess in a chemical laboratory as a subject. It's also a pity that I am not an artist but still, I am a great
master of making a mess. So, once bored with a clean-up I've made my own still-life picture.

I'm pretty sure it's not the acidity of fluorene that's responsible here- it may be far more acidic than most hydrocarbons, but not in a protic
solvent like GAA.
