What the shit is 2-3 <em>inches</em>‽ Do you mean 5.08 cm to 7.62 cm?

Let's see something special, 62g of metallic rubidium(:
And something what looks nice, an organic intermediate:
P.S.: should I post a "manual" illustrated with pics that how should anyone work with pyrophoric substances? E.g.: with metallic rubidium?

No that sounds far too big!
2-3 inches is more appropriate.

Diisopropyl oxaloacetate or it's tautomer, diisopropyl hydroxymaleic acid. It was a side product of a reaction.
It is easily formed if diisopropyl tartarate is reacted with cc H2SO4 in alcoholic solutions.

The larger part will go to the metalorganic research group (I have no idea what do they plan with it) and the rest will stay at us for presentation
purposes (e.g.: reaction on air, with water...).

Anyone want a sniff from it? It has a really characteristic odor 
And something what is simple but looks nice:
Some random test tubes laying around.

1Kg??? I bet it is for making nitriles
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and caldron bubble

Yes, I would use it to make nitriles, but the only problem is that the reaction is not so easy as it seems and the only product what comes out is
something what is not preferred.
But here's another pics(:
A polyhydroxipyrrole under UV.

Damn, that's several times more than the greatest amount of KCN I've seen with my eyes.
Lots of lethal doses. LOL

When something is described everywhere as a white crystalline solid and if you make it then it is beautiful purple oil, then it is a really bad sign.
And some funny reagent:
Various butyl lithiums, an awesome highly pyrophoric reagent dissolved in hexane.
Anyone wants to open one bottle?

It'a an N-trifluoracylated phenylalanine derivative substitued on the aromatic ring with a few methoxy and a nitro group. I have no idea what could
cause the purple color... Maybe the NMR will tell the truth(:

Mine look like round, slightly damp balls... then again, I didn't really bother to dry them before ampouling. Maybe I should make another ampoule?

Theirs looks a lot like my commercial "resublimed" iodine... actually it looks exactly like it. Perhaps this is how it normally looks? I have also
seen it in the form of little prills though... curious!

All the tiny stuff is the broken up "shake" at the bottom of the container. Most of the material is actually more chunky, as you can see in this
picture.
The iodine itself was sublimed, melted under sulfuric acid (to consolidate the material, it's too light and feathery otherwise), rinsed, broken up
with a scoopula, and then dried in a small desiccator. It's been around for a few years, resubliming in that container. There's always a slight
purple haze in the bottle.
