Some gross stuff!
Yuck. SO!
I was preparing Diiodoacetylene, going on Axt's preparation page.
It worked, but: it smelled T E R R I B L E!!!
The only thing I could compare it to would be if someone poured warm, rancid caramel/butterscotch over a dead/decaying animal. Absolutely atrocious.
What WAS IT?! The smell, I mean. It made me want to throw up!
Any ideas? The Diiodoacet. itself? The HIO? Or something different?
I'd be interested if anyone else had the same thing happen to them.

It is interesting that you refer to butterscotch. Sauron says that diacetyl IS butterscotch.
This may or may not be relevant to your situation: butterscotch

The single most important condition for a successful synthesis is good mixing - Nicodem

Um, that's not what I meant. I mean DIIODOACETYLENE. [C2I2]
I know about Diacetyl, sprayable butter and all that

Uh, no.
The PDF loads in fine, but all the letters are jumbled.
My Chloropicrin does that quite well, though.

sorry I made a mistake.Dibromo acetylene gives you a headache,not diidoacetylene.But according to the book,the later smells similar to phenyl
isocyanide  which also smells absolutely horrible and even made me sick(I
started having flu like symptoms a few minutes after smelling it and that night I was having vertigo )

its amazing that you could compare the smell of phenyl isocyanide with an earthly smell.Everyone else says that the smell is an alien one http://blogs.sciencemag.org/pipeline/archives/2010/05/07/thi...
