Tetrachlorozincates

Tetrachlorozincate

Tetrachlorozincate is an anion with the formula [ZnCl4]2−. It is a counterion that is often used in conjunction with strong electrophiles. Being dianionic, tetrachlorozincate is not classified as a weakly coordinating anion. On the other hand, being dianionic, tetrachlorozincate facilitates the crystallization of many salts. It has a tetrahedral molecular geometry. A simple example is (NH4)2[ZnCl4]. The anion is tetrahedral. Zincates are anionic zinc complexes. Related to the preparation of Lucas' reagent, tetrachlorozincates are often generated by combining hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride. A related anion is [Zn2Cl6]2−, in which again Zn(II) adopts a tetrahedral geometry. (Wikipedia).

Making Chromyl Chloride

In this video we are making chromyl chloride which is a potent volatile carcinogen. Chromyl chloride (CrO2Cl2) is this red fuming liquid. It can be used to oxidize toluene to benzaldehyde and to oxidize a lot of other reagents. On my instagram and reddit theres plenty of other pictures of

Ethyl Chloroacetate a Deadly Precursor to Many Pharmaceuticals

In this video ethyl chloroacetate which is a precursor to many pharmaceuticals will be prepared. We will make it by doing an esterification reaction involving chloroacetic acid, ethanol, sulfuric acid and a lot of patience. Ethyl chloroacetate is a toxic liquid used to make chloroacetamide

Extracting Carbon Tetrachloride from Old Fire Extinguishers

This is a relatively simple way to get carbon tetrachloride. Carbon tet is very expensive and difficult to acquire, this is a much cheaper method to get carbon tet. This carbon tet can be purified further with several other purification methods if a higher quality is desired. Large metal e

Making hydrazine sulfate from bleach

Well we made hydrazine sulfate. Nothing more to say. Don’t try this at home. Hydrazine is highly TOXIC AND CARCINOGENIC. We are only making it because we want to copper plate glass and we might also make luminol. Proper safety precautiuons were implemented (gas mask with a NEW hydrazine c
