I didn't mention it, but a lot of the tetrazole stuff was established by a Russian called Engager, published onto the Sciencemadness forums. It is truly an incredible body of work he established.

sorry the audio is so bad. I spent money on a good mic and then talked into it from behind rather than the proper way and the audio was all clipped ehh
I should write more nonsense in the description like I used to do. but maybe the nonsense (read: shitposting) is now in the video rather than being in the description?? ok nah, that's just a lame excuse. I've just got no bonus content for people to ignore this time.
Nice video, man! I find that the "fear" you described is somewhat common across chemistry. All it takes is a few people to claim a somewhat niche chemical is "super dangerous" and everyone else just kind of believes it. And since nobody has a reason to use or try it, the fear just keeps propagating. But it only takes one (maybe slightly crazy) person to try it and show otherwise.
Thank you for validating that if I'm on a watch list now, then it will be right next to one of my favorite UA-camrs NileRed!
Love both of you guys! Really makes my day go easier when you guys have content out.
Does that mean you're gonna delve into the world of EM? XD
SLIGHTLY?
But.. he didn't actually make azidoazide azide...
I remember my Ochem lab coordinator describing a master's student who spent two years making some coordinated metal compound (though I can barely remember what I *tried* to learn back then so it might have been something else, but it was based on one of the heavier elements) that was made using such unstable reagents, and was so unstable itself, that the entire synthesis needed to be performed at -40*C under nitrogen and protected from light. Any breach of any of these conditions and it instantly exploded/ He fought with this thing for years, finished it, presented it, and then quit chemistry forever.
Absolute power move
After all that work and his absolutely mindblowing result this mad lad just quits?the fuck?

Friggin' beautiful.
"I used the urea and bleach to make hydrazine" oh the noise I made when he casually said this
me when he just casually talks about the overall synthesis taking in the realm of 3 years and how he just nonchalantly says “there’s a step there where i made sodium azide from scratch”
Lmfao
It was hydrazine sulfate iirc, but it also spewed everywhere while he was making it. ua-cam.com/video/d7EPTu1Srak/v-deo.html
Making the sulfate is actually pretty easy and safe as long as you do it outside or in a fume hood
I work on fighter jets and hydrazine is fuckin spooky. One minute you’re turning a wrench. The minute next you’re asking yourself why you smell cat piss. Next thing you know you’re on the ground having a seizure and fluid buildup in your lungs.
You've made it big, was showing a friend this vid and had the wikipedia page open to show him it really is C2N14 and after he left I saw that this video is listed as a source! Good stuff

You know it's scary when it's slightly yellow.

@@ExplosionsAndFire I am not chemistry savvy at all, so I am curious, Why are compounds that are yellow in colour scarier than other colours? Are a lot of explosive/toxic things slightly yellow? :o
its toxic its explosive it smells like shit and piss and it just dont fking work?
@@NessaWyvern it's just a completely unfounded myth and in joke on this channel. Yellow chemicals are completely safe and not in anyway dangerous, which is why chlorine gas is yellow.

for these cases of failing fuses you should get one of these "burning laser pointers". they work great for igniting something from a distance
Those laser pointers are actually illegal in Australia, I don't think he wants to do anything illegal :)
@@etelmo I had a cop play with my 3.5w Blue Wicked Lasers Laser at a festival. They did not seem to care at all.
@@Hiney A handheld battery operated laser with a power greater than 1mW is considered a dangerous weapon under Australian federal law, and is illegal to possess without a permit.
Technically they're covered under the same laws which govern firearms, and the same approval process is involved in getting a permit to legally own one.
Just because the police officer was ignorant of the law, doesn't mean you were not breaking it.
@@Hiney You're missing the point, nothing he's doing is illegal, using one of those lasers would be illegal.
I really don't think it's a good idea to draw unwanted attention by doing something illegal when there's no need.
He should hit up styropyro for some high power lasers to set off explosives.

Isn't that stuff turning the freaking frogs gay?🐸🏳️🌈
To be fair - this compound was made by an Aussie so calling it a C$%& is sometimes like saying hi - it could have happily said hi C$%& back to you and you'd have a beer together. Maybe you need to get an American sourced Azidoazide azide and then re-attempt the swearing induced reaction again just to be sure.
Sounds reasonable. You'd also have to exclude British synthesised compounds as it would depend on which part of the country they were made in. Some areas would have a beer with you, others would try to rip your face off. Also no French sourced compounds as they'd likely explode if someone simply spoke near them in English. Or go on strike so the results would also be a touch unpredictable :D

I just now noticed the BD in the background omg!
I love the sound of the NI3 on the iron plate at 4:51, it's so pleasant
WOW!!! Now this deserves a big fucking "WELL DONE!!" no easy feat. and looking at that reaction scheme in it's entirety really puts it into perspective just how much work we've done on these compounds. all the failures, low yields and screw ups were well rewarded in the end though. And its pretty hefty for 20mg to do this.
Also just today i got an unexpected comment on my BNCP video from whom appears to be Engager.
And i appreciate the shoutout!! If ever you need anything...
Thanks mate! I felt pretty proud after I drew up the whole diagram of what I've done over the years, it looks impressive when it's like that! But really, it is just lots of small steps and it all just come together sometimes, despite all the low yields...
So I got some messages from Engager too after I put up this video! He said my methods were okay but my yields were pretty poor. To do better, the advice he gave me (in full honestly) was to 'watch Allchemystery's videos and copy what he does'!! So you've got a big tick of approval from a real legend there
Awesome video! Laughed out loud at the French azidoazide azide pronunciation 🤣👍
I'm french, and I cringed so bad...
What do they say in the French bit btw? I assume it's just "this is the most sensitive explosive" but I put it in my video without even checking what the guy actually says haha
@@ExplosionsAndFire Pretty much!
"Azidoazide azide, the most unstable of substances.
Azidoazide azide is an explosive so unstable it explodes in all circumstances. It's the craziest chemical the world has ever seen"

oh you mean CuNTZ? Yeah I did DBX-1 in my nitrotetrazole video
I have to say, I really enjoy your videos, you know far more chemistry than I did in my days of "explosions and fires", but I did do lots, and had much fun, and I'm still alive at 63, so don't let anyone tell you to stop or you'll die, it's only "might die", and sometimes "it got better, ..." A very fun compound much detonation in tiny spits, and subsequent holes.
Klapötke lab recently reported (JACS, ASAP) the synthesis and properties of C2N16 of which sensitivity is even higher than that of C2N14 :)

Im so glad I'm not the only one who saw that
As a chemist, I greatly thank you for clearing up the misconceptions I initially had about this compound.
I swear Bunnings warehouse and Mitre ten would have more casualties chalked up then most arms dealers.
That is an absolute certainty.
Mitre ten fingers before I started but only 9 now.
I love that "bong" of the touch powder on that metal beam. Such a satisfying sound. I'll sometimes rewatch this video just for the bong
Amen!!

@@centhron89 me too, I've even shared with friends. C2N14 and ClF3 were my favourites... Both destroyed now.
ua-cam.com/video/SpD4PXg_BKg/v-deo.html scishow are classist xenophobic cunts.
It's unclear. There is another comment thread here with an argument about whether the two compounds are actually the same thing, or if one is a related but more stable compound.
I have a feeling you have a biproduct of the synthesis that is not azidoazide azide but actually the more stable tautomer which links the nitrogens in the azide to the tetrazole side leading to a nitrogenous polymer called azido-polyazidazole which has been made amd tested in the 80's. Sorry to burst your bubble but if this was the pure monomer your synthesis wouldve ended 1 step before completion. Also the actual explosive is far too polar to form stable crystals in water so what youve made is the hydroxonium catalyzed polymer.
Interesting, do you have any references?
because even if you google 'poly azidazole' not only do you not get any relevant results, you actually get absolutely zero hits. I haven't seen that 'google did not find anything' screen in a while
Any suggestions on what to do now?
@@ExplosionsAndFire I remember a paper I read when i was first interested in this chemical. It mentioned the "much more stable water-insoluble polymer" but I'm afraid I can't seem to find it or the website it was published on. Take my words with a grain of salt until then. Until then, stay safe!
He might have a point, those crystals seem monoclinic and quite large, neither of which seems to be described in the literature I've encountered.... To me that would point towards a possible unbranch polymer having formed
LMAO I just noticed the Bad Dragon logo

@@reedman0780 Nitroglycerin is monopropelant.
It doesn't need any oxidator to explode
@@bocahdongo7769 do monopropellants need combustion? Well this is real old and I def. Know a bit more on nitroglycerin now than back then. Though not sure why it didnt combust on that guy
@@reedman0780 Monopropelant is just mean that the compound itself is self-reacted/self-destruct without any reaction with any other compound. Other compound that can do this is Hidrogen Peroxide
Whether it need heat or not to make self-destruct reaction is not the case
Man you got quick reflexes. You lifted that torch away almost instantly after the can exploded.
Unbelieveable you only have 5k views... i thought i was subscribing to a huge channel based off the quality of content I saw. Keep up you're progress in the way you're going, you will be big in about 8 months.
The silver nitrotetrazole you synthesized is still probably more violent, but as this is nothing but two carbons and a shitload of nitrogen, this is a hugely impressive explosive
I love seeing your channel grow, you’re a really cool guy and it’s great to see chemistry become more accepted
Seeing that you've uploaded seriously makes my day. Love you man. Never stop doing you. Nohomo. Promise.
Dude congratulations on the video man! Not only did your content make me laugh often, but i also learned a lot about "Mankind's most sensitive explosive!" It's great; even if took 3 years to make! I'm totally subscribing ♥️
We watched this in my chem AP class thinking it was a normal documentary on C2N14. It started off very professional and slowly got more and more unhinged until you said "easy as dicks" and our prof screamed
The very scientific testing of oi cUNT got me 😂😂
I remember seing a computer simulation of the molecule, seeing that it folds itself and will eventually randomly fold in such a way that it reacts with itself. However, that computer simulation may have been wrong.
soo reactive... it can't even touch itself before exploding.
@@datonecommieirongear2020 I'm familiar with that problem...
My friend, I absolutely love your editing and commentary. But I'm far too drunk to follow any of this with any clear understanding, at the moment.

Thats alot of nitrogen
I been watching these videos recently and I just now noticed the BD logo on the board. Jesus christ man, I fucking love you.
This guy must have an awesome lawyer.
Since the manufacture of high-quality Sodium Nitrotetrazole (NaNTz) was fairly easy I thought I would take on a slightly more difficult challenge and manufacture Dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-istetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50). TKX-50 is some AMAZING stuff. Higher detonation velocity than CL-20 and less impact sensitivity than TNT. I would think that TKX-50 would be something that you would like to try out.

as is known, when an explosive doesn't detonate, you walk within 10 feet of it and point a torch directly at it

I wonder if something was cocrystalizing with your compound, like perhaps it was a hydrate or some urea, and that was stabilizing it.
Very large crystal size is generally a good indicator of a very clean compound.
@@andersjjensen I agree except that hydrates are part of the normal crystal lattice. I'm not talking about contamination I'm talking about Waters of hydration as part of the crystal lattice.
@@michalchik I'm not very knowledgeable in crystallography but wouldn't you need something for the water to coordinate to for crystals like that? Like a metal center ?
@@zevkurtzman8108 That's a good question and I don't think so. Any intermolecular for should be able to allow a simple molecule to incorporate into the crystal lattice. You can even trap gases as in methane clatharate.

Now I kind of want to see a comparison with other explosives at 20mg. Would 20mg of flash powder do the same amount of damage as that stuff? 20mg of C4?
for C4 you need a detonator.. would be pretty hard to compare it like this hah
C4 isn't really an explosive
It's more of a delivery method.
C4 is just RDX with a phlegmetiser and a plasticiser. RDX is the actual explosive.
Look at that synthesis. He could have easily ended up with some other compound that was not nearly as explosive. And amazingly, although apparently no confirming characterization of the final product was done, he does not seem to even consider this possibility.
Scientists: here is the most explosive thing ever.
Explosions&Fire: Booooring!
