Space Galaxy in the Chemistry lab. Titanium tetraiodide.

In fact in this video I just wanted to show you the incredibly beautiful reactions between titanium and iodine in slowmo, but later I decided to increase the duration of the video a little and added some footages of titanium tetraiodide (TiI4) to it. Enjoy!

I work in an organic chemistry lab. And even then, this is the most magical thing I've seen all day.

[@DisorderedArray]

I also work in an organic chemistry lab, and this is the most magical thing I've seen in maybe forever. If you want brown or off-white, our lab can make anything under the sun. One time we made some orangey-yellow!

[@resipsaloquitur13]

Of that, I have no doubt. I went to college once upon a time and thought I too might want to be a science. School was awesome. Upon my first job interview I was shown the lab and my cubical... Never to return. Again went to school. Became a machinist. Coolest most awesomer never boring job I could have dreamed for. I still nerd. But in a more tangible way. Much respect to the real sciencers though. I just couldnt stand the periods of quiet nothings.

[@Guineh76]

I look forward to your videos. I’ve had an interest in chemistry since I was a little kid and love watching your reactions and videos on exotic and highly reactive compounds. Also always amazed to see substances in states rarely seen, like liquid ozone, chlorine, and so on.

[@ChemicalForce]

Thanks a lot! Exactly, since I was a child I also dreamed of seeing all these chemicals and now I'm glad I can show this to chemistry lovers

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

I have never seen TiI4 before! And of course, reactions with iodine are lovely. Really great shots of these reactions as always!

[@michaelseitz8938]

@0:48 Haha, I love your casual and modest "Hey guys" 😁 "Hey guys ... by the way ... here is some incredibly beautiful and amazing footage of some sparkly and colourful chemical reactions."

[@alexhatfield2987]

Some of the most aesthetically beautiful chemical reactions I’ve seen and such an apposite title. Thick, rich violet clouds of iodine peppered with dazzlingly white titanium pyrophoricity. What’s not to love.

[@acronus]

Beautiful reactions. Top notch filming as always. Great job Feliks!

[@Fraxxxi]

well that was the most beautiful thing I've seen in the 2020s so far.

[@GaiatheSage]

wow that was hands down the most beautiful chemical reaction I have ever seen! you should try doing a multi stage reaction one of these days. like a rube goldberg of chemistry reactions. that would be so cool!

[@joshroolf1966]

Thank you for the lovingly captured reactions!!!💚💚💚🎼🎵🎶 Truly elemental artwork, the best violet purple magenta smoke I've ever seen..:::😄 So many beautiful reactions deserve this level of preparation with lighting and slow motion, really good work!

Your best video yet, which is saying a lot because the bar is HIGH

[@Tranarpnorra]

Bloody hell! Each video keeps pushing one-up from the other. Excellent work Mr chemical reaction. You are the G.O.A.T of reacions (and esotheric chemicals) on YT. (Still the lingering question, what is your business?) Aaaaand, you still have far few subscribers than you're worth!

Stunningly beautiful reactions! Nobody else in the world comes close to your ability to turn chemistry into a cinematic experience. Unrelated, but are there any interesting chemical reactions you could do with any noble gas compounds like xenon difluoride? I’m no chemist by any means but I remember as a kid looking through a chemical catalog and seeing that compound for sale.

[@ChemicalForce]

Yes, it's in the plans but not for the near future 🥲

[@oitthegroit1297]

That's extremely pretty. It's the kind of thing that got me into chemistry in the first place. I'm curious about your setup. The way the coloured vapours billow makes it appear that there isn't anything like a strong ventilation airflow. Are you using a fume hood with a very slow fan speed?

Really amazing with a crazy amount of highly toxic and corrosive vapors and gases (This reactions get much more amazing when play in slow motion😍) Next video suggestion : Create a video about high explosive like tri nitro glycerol (Nitro glycerol)

[@pedrodepacas-ic1cb]

I am so glad I got baked before I watched this video.

[@MekalEnergy]

Im soo Satisfied 🤷♾️🌟🦚🩶

[@BramCohen]

In "Ignition!" It mentions a fatal lab accident where someone was testing the corrosion resistance of metallic titanium in hydrofluoric acid and it turns out instead of resisting corrosion it instead dissolves quickly and then detonates. It would be very interesting to see a video of that process happening

[@dielaughing73]

Sounds like exactly the kind of thing this madman would do, and then pour hydrazine or liquid chlorine all over

[@Esterified80]

Beautiful reactions Can you make something smell related?

Could you do some experiments with the chemical that was in the big train derailment vinyl chloride and show us about it and how toxic it is plus all your usual stuff lol thank you for sharing

I know someone who tried to synthesise titanium tetrazide once. All the lovely nitrogen! 😂 Apparently turning the lights on would set it off when there was less than a tenth of a grain of the stiff.

I know your reactions are always very exotic, but i wanted to ask if there is any nice reactions with phosphoric acid, do you know?

[@michaelbell8834]

What an interesting reagent, albeit less known.

[@paranoiia8]

Titanium Tetrachloride was always my favorite compound(that thick clouds it make are damn cool) but that purple colors with sparks... damn... its even better. I was wondering, if titanium have such super nice characteristics to make smoke, is there are other compounds that we can mix and make that smoke super bright green or red?

[@chemistryofquestionablequa6252]

Potassium chlorate, lactose, sodium bicarbonate and one of the correct dyes will make any color you want. Pyrotechnics websites sell kits.

[@jcoop3660]

Baby your a fiiiiyawooork 😁🔥

[@ZoonCrypticon]

The intro was great ! I like the color composition. It is a pity, that most of the chemicals used are toxic.

[@emmad4308]

If it's colourful 9/10 times it's highly toxic. If it does its job well, 9/10 times is also toxic or can kill you in 7 different ways before breakfast. For example, you can get a lot of paints made from various minerals etc, but nowadays it's extremely hard to get them in bright yellow and reds, as they tend to be the highly toxic ones (think cadmium yellow, mercury compounds etc). Daniel Smith's primatek colours are a good example of modern mineral based paints. Definitely some colours missing, more muted in colour and the reason why is the least toxic ones are used (comparatively). For context, am a chemist with a love for pigments so you bet I got some samples of the paints. The Lapis lazuli one can suck it.
