I used Osmium Tetroxide frequently to give a heavy metal contrast in keratin samples, sectioned for the electron microscope. I do remember having quite a few very dark floaters in my eyes for some years afterwards!
I was described as a "bucket chemist" by my teacher when I was studying "A" level chemistry at school. There are only four varieties of chemistry worth doing as far as I'm concerned: 1, Pretty colours 2, Nasty smells 3, Explosions and 4, Poisons. This one ticks boxes 1 and 4.
When I was young and innocent I wondered whether ruthenium might make good jewelry. Then I learned more about ruthenium... probably okay as metal, but I’d still worry.
I work with OsO4 in the lab with some frequency. Of all the things I work with, including life-threatening viruses, other compounds, and other fun things, OsO4 is definitely the material I have the greatest respect for. . . . . Why do I smell garlic and why did everything just go black?
11:15 I was like "Oh god, change your gloves, change your gloves, pleeeease" (But I trust that you know what you're doing, much more so than I. Cool video!)
If you want something scary that's toxic, does some weird stuff, and is yellow, you could've just filled a jam jar with chlorine gas and poked a hole in the lid.
Thanks for the spooky video! For a better print put a piece of glass with a fingerprint in a small container along with some superglue put onto a cotton ball or paper towel. Will work a lot better
I remember that you could buy bottles of Carbon Tetrachloride as a dry cleaning agent when I was a school boy chemist. More scary was that in the early 1980s I was a computer operations manager working on mainframes, one day the computer centre's air conditioning (AC) system sprang a significant leak which required some pipework replacing; I vaguely recall a mild panic when the AC engineer started brazing copper pipe joints full of a refrigerant based on CCl4, there was a worry he was filling the machine room with phosgene!
Well, shit. I certainly wouldn't even solder or braze NEAR vapors for halogenated hydrocarbons. Hope there was some good ventilation. Then again, it was the 1980s, and burning holes in the ozone was still somewhat cool. So I guess what's important is you didn't learn what phosgene smelled like. lol
Ay man, I just watched the video. You asked to be reminded in 8 months to extract calcium from bones to make a spooky video for Halloween. You have been reminded.
I have to say, short of working with hypergolic rocket propellants which are basically 50 shades of death that would kill you at least 7 ways before you hit the ground, this was probably one of the more dangerous things you could do.
I love how all textbooks cite the rxn of osmium tetroxide with allkenes to perform oxidative cleavage and diol formation, but like.....I don’t know of ANY lab crazy enough to ever purchase and actually use osmium tetroxide, it is a DEADLY, DEADLY reagent. I’m scared of it, and I have worked with fluoroantimonic acid, and cyanogen bromide
Ruthenium Tetroxide is about 2.5 times heavier than air. Thats why the fingerprint on the test tube didnt really get visible, but the one on the outside of the beaker did. Because the ruthenium tetroxide flowed over the beaker and coated the finger print on the outside of the beaker since its heavier than air.
A round of applause good sir. Not every chemist needs a million dollar lab set up to make great chemistry videos. I can appreciate the resourcefulness.
