Mood: So cold outside

Hopefully some Tetracyanocuprate(II). It's said to be purple if you find anything mention about it in Literature. Usually you'll get Cu(I)Cyanide and then Tetracyanocuprate(I) which should give you a green to orange solution depending on the conc. of KCN. But obviousely although not very stable over time you can get Cu(II)Cyanide, too. Which I think has a really beautiful color. I even got a darker version but I couldn't get it on cam and it was more intense than on the picture. I guess my camera doesn't really pick up colors that well.

So I found 2 short sentences in Literature. The Cu(II)Cyanide is yellow and Cu(I) is white. And the complex is purple. So this should be the complex. I did some yellow-green precipitate, too that later turned puprle when I stirred it. So this could be Cu(II)Cyanide but I'd say that Cu(I)Cyanide does appear a quite similar color. So not sure about these two but well the Cuprate(II) seems to exist with it's purple color.

Oh I never won anything with chemistry except some elementary school competitions. I selected my friends by looking at their hands during these competitions. The more nitric acid bite marks on their hands the more likely they knew the score, today its kinda the opposite:)

Anyway after the termite burned I dropped it onto some water, it bounced and gave off a moderate "Puff" due to elemental sodium, it is good to have kids around to have them grind the Mg powder off the 2kg block though.

Two chemistry books I luckily acquired!
One is from 1913 (the one on the left) and the other about organic chemistry is from 1908!
So cool, and they were so cheap!



Pieces of history, pre-world war, so cool to own, i was so happy the day i found them (dusted, in an antiquarian bookshop) :D

He was just saying that you probably would have won the Rador Labs Chemical Conflagrations challenge had you entered that picture. I would have to agree. Since you seem to have a knack for photographing chemistry, you may want to keep an eye out for our future challenges, which may involve similar things.

I just passed the local portion of the Chemistry olympiad, and will be moving onto the nationals. If I do well in that, I get a trip to Colorado.... Nice work Jimmy!

that looks like an induction coil there, nice. If you will, what is the rest of the setu? Does the oxidized gas get channeled to another reaction? Also, I read that Mg dust embedded in the skin (lungs by assumption) can cause local malignant tumor growth. I recommend a facemask/respirator for any assistants who do not know/are uncomfortable with the nature of the dust in grinding. Goggles too maybe, like swimming goggles perhaps?

So these aren't home-lab photos but I'm pretty stoked about them.

A couple shots of a few molecules I've been working with for the past two or so months.


First picture is compound thats red on the column and purple in solution(base compound). Please don't judge the column pack job it was a quick separation. Chloroform to remove a fast runner and methonal to wipe the solid phase (zwitterionic isomer is sticky) which is why there is half semi-white(stationary phase) and half red (target).

The second picture is a conjugate that is purple in solution(multistep synthesis), and the other is red in solution(prosthetic compound for tests).

Very nice Picts. HgDinis25.

The Video with the slow motion effect was also quite fun to watch.

Nice job.




They tried to have me "put to sleep" so I came back to return the favor.

Nice crystals, and nice write-up, but please don't capitalize the names of compounds or elements. They aren't people.

Also, you mention "tin(II) dioxide" in your write-up. That should be tin dioxide, or tin(IV) oxide.




Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.

Hehe the capitalization is a trend of mine and my own language. They aren't people but they are chemicals.

The Tin Dioxide part was bad though :P Thanks for the heads up!

Glad you liked the crystals. By the way, does anyone know why I can't put images in this post? I place these links as images and they don't show up.

nice job, the crystals look great! Be sure to lacquer them if you want to preserve them.
The capitalization is something I do all the time. It's a hard habit to break, I understand. Somewhere during when I was homeschooled, I forgot that each word wasn't capitalized, and the difference between its and it's... :P

Not the best quality pic in the world, but a cool effect seen when dark-brown crystals of potassium tetraperoxochromate(V) are put into hydrochloric acid, with the formation of a blue chromium oxide diperoxide complex: CrO(O2)2.

Interesting to see that this is a purple compound, as cyanuric acid and copper(II) also combine to form a purple compound. So, the purple colour may well arise from the N-Cu bond, when N is also bonded to C.
