  • In this video I'll show you an exciting experiment with lead tartrate. By heating this compound in a test tube sealed with cotton wool to limit air exposure, we observe how lead tartrate decomposes into lead nanoparticles which ignite spontaneously when exposed to air!

    Tartaric acid, lead acetate and heating things in sealed vessels were all well known to the Greeks, I wonder if this was an ignition source in the lost recipe of Greek fire. How does this react to water? I could guess the result is violent the usual liberation of hydrogen from the water followed by ignition in the air.

  • @brazilianambassadordale8223

    Something I would be real curious to see is how random things react with frustrated lewis pairs (eg, soln of tricyclohexylphosphine with tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane. Even found a paper discussing the usage of carbenes as lewis bases, although that might be a bit much). I remember I wrote a paper on them for my catalysis class in university and the reaction kinetics they allow for are pretty interesting.
    All they are are mixtures of sterically hindered lewis acids and bases that can fit chemical compounds between them. It's really simple but cool chemistry and such frustrated lewis pairs can be used to catalyze a huge variety of reactions by effectively forcing charges on substances that generally shouldn't become ionic (eg binding molecular hydrogen to form H+ and H- while activating alkenes/alkynes, thus allowing for the hydrogenation of double bond). Idk how much of the chemistry is spectacular enough for this channel but I've been very curious about what they might be capable of. They can also bind carbon monoxide, Nitrous oxide, sulfur and carbon dioxide, so on so forth. I'm especially curious with that nitrous oxide. Ik azides can participate in click chemistry with alkynes to form triazoles but nitrous oxide is limited in this department despite it's structural similarity to azides, although I remember reading a long time ago that frustrated lewis pairs can be used to facilitate a similar reaction to form 1,2,3-oxadiazoles. I'm struggling to find the paper now and I remember it being casually mentioned in a paper that wasn't focused on frustrated lewis pairs specifically so I might be misremembering. Still...
