Also, nice user name! It reminds me of an email I got from someone who once worked under Olah. He was afraid I would kill myself working with methyl
perchlorate, not because it is liable to explode at slightest provocation, but because he thought it could likely be a potent alkylating agent,
similar in effect to the deadly "magic methyl".
