Thiocarbonate describes a family of anions with the general chemical formula CS3−xO2−x (x = 0, 1, or 2): * for x = 2 it is monothiocarbonate ion CO2S2− * for x = 1 it is dithiocarbonate ion COS2−2 * for x = 0 it is trithiocarbonate ion CS2−3 Like the carbonate dianion, the thiocarbonate ions are trigonal planar, with carbon atom at the center of triangle, and oxygen and sulfur atoms at the peaks of the triangle. The average bond order between C and S or O is 4/3. The state of protonation is usually not specified. These anions are good nucleophiles and good ligands. Thiocarbonates are salts of those ions as well (e.g. sodium dithiocarbonate Na2COS2). Thiocarbonates are esters of thiose ions as well. They contain trigonal planar divalent functional groups similar to these anions. (Wikipedia).

Making a Compound With a Great Smell: Benzoin
In todays video we are going to make some benzoin. Benzoin is an organic chemical with a great smell. It is made via the benzoin condensation of benzaldehyde (which is actually an addition reaction). As a catalyst I am using highly toxic potassium cyanide which is why you should not repeat

Making Calcium Peroxide (CaO2)
In today’s video we are making calcium peroxide from sodium hydroxide, calcium chloride and hydrogen peroxide. Calcium peroxide is an oxidizing agent and it could be used to make oxygen by simply heating it. Our yield was low but we managed to make some. Just to put it somewhere: the produ

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

Synthesizing Sulfur Dichloride: A Noxious Liquid That You DON'T WANT | Thionyl Chloride (Part 1)
Sulfur chlorides are both beautifully fascinating and horrendously vile. Today, we'll be synthesizing sulfur dichloride: a cherry-red liquid that is now my least favorite chemical to work with. Not only does it reek like death, but it also coats everything it touches in a layer of sulfur t
