Rocket scientists are also the ones who decided using lithium and fluorine as a bipropellant might be a good idea.. (Narrator, in a cloud of HF: "It was in fact not.. *gasp* a.. good.... ideagggh" *dies*)
@@rkirke1 Not bipropellant; tripropellant. They added some hydrogen speficially to lower the molecular weight of reaction products; which also generates hydrogen fluoride but nobody cared much about that. I'd still rather deal with this than liquid ozone which just randomly detonates or something insanely reactive like chlorine pentafluoride.
As a uni student, I love to listen to these tier lists over music whilst I write up my lab reports. We were drawing molecules from these tiers on each others lab coats - thanks for the inspiration
Over music? While writing reports? You are simply overloading your brain by static while not understanding the vid or the report you are writing, never mind the music itself. It is the worst feeling tbh.
So far, I’ve never been in a single chemistry class and have never seen these chemicals in my life. Yet this is absolutely epic even though I have no idea what’s going on lol
Hearing "five phosphoruses in a ring" made some part of my brain snap and I have decided that as of now, the plural of phosphorus is phosphorii... "5 Phosphorii in a ring". I'm sure there are other elements which deserve a unique plural form too
I took organic chem with Lectka at Hopkins and am friends with a number of people who have worked on the fluoronium compound. He’s an excellent lecturer and his course convinced me to major in chemistry and go to grad school.
9:40 I want to suggest for this compound the name "Penta-P" for simplicity since there 5 P's in the structure and 5 P's in its formula name, and "pentaphenylpentaphospholane" is a bit of a mouthful
Non-tierlist video idea where you spotlight something chemistry related, be it equipment, compounds, processes etc and describe it as though it's qualities were translated into a personality Basically make a dating profile for graduated cylinders or something, I like your sense of humor and ability to describe things with it
Hi that chemist. I’ve been watching since I took o-chem last year. Now I tutor it at my community college and encourage the students I work with to watch your channel from time to time. We love all of your uploads, especially your tier lists!
re. dicyanoacetylene and ozone - you don't put them together in the same tank, you mix them together as late as possible, the very last moment before they get to the flame, as you do with oxygen/acetylene
For the folks who don't know what _emesis_ means: if you eat Cicutoxin you will propel it out of your mouth at high velocities, along with anything else what happens to be in your stomach at that time.
I forgot what tier list you had it in, but FOOF has amused me a lot more than it has any business doing It's just...FOOF...what else is there to say? One of my favorite things from the channel and absolutely deserves a spot in a highlight reel lmao Another idea would be to take the audio clips from every time you've said "fwoomp" and chain them together lol Also I'd like to mention that while I've always been very interested in science in general, it's been a long time since I paid much attention to chemistry specifically. I'm not super optimistic about ever getting myself to actually go to school for any scientific discipline, and between one or two learning disabilities and comically bad ADHD trying to learn anything at all on my own is a nightmare at best, but since your channel randomly appeared in my recommended for no good reason about a week ago I've been wishing I would get into science a bit more. I don't really even have that much of a basic understanding of what all you're talking about (I went to a very small private school my whole life until 11th grade and what little money the school had was mostly focused on arts-related stuff; I would've loved the opportunity to do more work with sciences but I am very grateful for the education that school gave me), but watching your videos honestly leaves me a lot more wishing I would go learn more about chemistry than feeling confused, and all the anecdotes from you and the people in comments sections and your discord about the stupid, hilarious, and dangerous things they've experienced or heard about really make me want to be a part of that lol Love all your content, but the chempilations are so damn hilarious to me. I'll watch just about whatever you upload but make more chempilations please I beg
given that it's an extremely potent oxidizer that reacts explosively with _ice,_ it was probably in a video about dangerous chemicals/oxidizers or chemicals he wouldn't work with.
This chemical is actually pretty interesting as it was used as an Anal Lubricant in cuba back in the 60s, its extracted using local fruits commonly harvested using government funded slave labor. When used improperly or taken orally it has the capacity to invert the polarity in your frontal cortex. This can in most cases, cause a slight but permanent buzzing noise in one's right ear (depends which hand the subject is dominant with), but in some cases can cause immediate collapse of both lungs upon consuming shellfish with no known treatment. This is definitely a High A tier or possibly a low S tier due to the difficulty in finding the fruits to extract this chemical.
I had a class presentation on late blight last week and I mentioned some fungicides by name but I wish i had that cymoxanil structure up there to freak someone out.
I hope everyone has been doing well :) Loved the tierlist, pretty cursed. However what I like the most is the use of the eye cleaning faucet (forgot the name! Sorry) to convey that these chemicals are so cursed you need some powerful eye bleach, not literally. You know, you take some "unsee juice" and pour it right in. Now, whether or not that is the right way to operate that piece of safety equipment, it is still hilarious 👀 Please keep up the good work. Edit: Along with the neurotransmitters tierlist I have suggested a while back, I think it would be interested to see a hormone tierlist as well... I understand if it's too much biochemistry though (and there are just too many compounds to choose from!), I just find these topics interesting honestly 😅 And I am aware I'm not really paying for any of these, so please do not misunderstand my comments as if I was demanding free content 🙁 I'd love to help financially someday though
also, man, this is my favorite video yet. imho you tuned in on the perfect balance of goofy and scientific. (also, i spent most of the last year with my Dominican ex-girlfriend eating things seasoned with achiote. Good to know it's colored by Bixin?)
It's funny, when I was taking science-based courses for university I always hated chemistry and found it boring. Somehow you have a way of making it interesting to me, I've watched all of your tier lists and love listening to you talking about compounds even though my knowledge is minimal at times. Overall for this reason I'm gonna rank your channel in S tier, extremely interesting and informative.
Very amusing, thank you for the lofty molecule ranking and the character sketch. Incidentally, if you hold the wine glass by its base or stem, the contents stay chilled longer. Scientific clarification - if fluoronium is 'hype,' then so is ammonium, oxonium, and many chloroniums, all of which may calculate as a partial negative. In fact, the F in C-F-C moves in a strong positive direction vis-a-vis C-F, although most charge schema (but not all) show it as a slight partial negative. The F also in no sense moves back and forth as in a classical ion. My feeling is that if you go through the intense effort to make it, you enjoy the honor of naming it, all the better when it exactly corresponds to IUPAC conventions. The others had 100 years to make it and they didn't, even though they wanted to. Had they made it they could have called it Puddentane for all anyone cares, as arguments about nomenclature are otherwise tedious. In any case, the overwhelming majority of chemists see it for what it is - a fluoronium ion. Incidentally, nobody ever interrupted my talks, ever, and I am not sure where you heard that as you surely did not see it. They would not have dared, with their missing middle fingers as one commenter noted!
You definitely got to bring back the chempit story as well as the guy who smoked Americium for a highlight reel. Those comment videos where simultaneously hilarious and terrifying
As somebody who is more geared towards math and compsci, chemistry is so fascinating and crazy. This channel is pretty wild. This and Nile and ChemicalForce are awesome too.

Hey Joey, thank you for your great channel, I really enjoy your content, especially the Amino acid tasting 😄 I would like to share a story too: I´m a Biochemist at a university in Germany and I’m working in a group with 30-40 other people. Nothing noteworthy happened with my students so far, so nothing hilarious from my side. My Colleque, that works in our synthesis lab, however had a student recently that put him through a lot of stress. He routinely managed to spill his reaction products, cut himself and was generally not the sharpest tool in the shed apparently. In his last week in our department he came to my colleque and told him that he spilled “a little bit” of solvent in our solvent storage room and he doesn’t know what to do. My colleque, nice as he is, went over to clean his mess but when he opened the door he got smacked in the face from cloud far worse then what he has expected. Looking on the floor he searched the puddle that the student left but found nothing. He was very puzzled about the missing puddle while the smell was so horrific, when he noticed that the student left a pool of ethyl acetate approximately 2-3 cm deep on one of the metal transport cart that is 40 x 80 cm. We both don’t know how he managed that but we cracked up about the gross understatement from the student and since then “a little bit” is a euphemism for chaos
I'm an IT doing time in purgatory as a building maintenance guy, I still love your channel. A bit Dunning Kruger effect, but love ya. You might actually save my life or a lung from chem exposure.
Could you make a video on where you get all the info and stories about these molecules? Is it stories from mentors, wiki, or some book? Really fun hearing about this
I am a veterinarian, so I took 2 chems, 2 O-chems, biochem, plant biology, microbiology, physiology, toxicology, pharmacology, parasitology, and all the various small and large animal medicine courses especially emergency med and exotic and aquatic med/toxicology. OMG I've been watching this channel for days and there is something from ALL OF THOSE COURSES on this channel and I can't stop binging. I love the toxin and medications ones but really I'm just obsessed with this channel now xD I can recognize something in each video that helps me study and stay sharp.
I was today years old when I found out there's a fluorine community, but I guess it makes sense bc people in my lab are often going off to meiosis conferences which also exist
hmmm as a biologist specializing in organic toxins I dont know why I only found this channel only know. Love it. Maybe other toxin enthusiasts can help me, years ago i found my favorite toxin but i forgot its name. Its synthesised by a australian snake and depending on the place of injection, it neurotoxin kills in less than 30minutes. NHow heres the fun. apparently it also induces the relaase of serotonin, with dopamine and ofcourse adrenaline. So those last 30 minutes will be the best of your life. Maybe somebody random knows either the snake of the toxin preferable the snake since venoms tend to be cocktails of compounds working together, not just 1 chemical.
i had to stop taking chemistry after 10th grade and now I have no clue why any of these molecules are interesting but these videos are almost fascinating enough to make me study the topic more
I work on the first compound! Well, a relative of it. The sunflower family (Asteraceae) is rich in polyacetylene compounds, including thiophenes and thiarubrines (and thioethanones, etc.). I work on thiophene biosynthesis-- very interesting how the polyacetylene scaffold is formed, cyclized into 1 to 3 thiophene rings, and then tailored to become more polar. Check out Konovalov's 2014 review!
Big fan of the comedic slant on chemistry and I love the tierlists, but would be nice to see other forms of satirical chemistry (which is a bit specific) so you don't get stuck in that niche - maybe some Ex&F style stuff?
/ambrosia trifida/ is what we botany freaks call a binomial name or scientific name, rather than a 'technical name'. that's part of a systematic naming scheme that's infinitely more useful for communication than IUPAC in most cases... (looking at the people in the taxonomy dungeons who can't decide where some species belong genetically, constantly switching up genera...)
Cicutoxin my beloved!! So glad to see my favorite poison feature in a video! (It's my favorite because I wrote a short story in which the protagonist kills a man using water hemlock. I have never experienced cicutoxin irl and have no desire to.)
Maybe not something to put into the highlights, but the immensely sad story from a couple months ago deserves a revisit. I'm not exactly sure how it could be, maybe just a repost as a PSA story time, or something? Idk, it needs to be tasteful though. It's nice to have a bit of emotional interjection between the "ooos," "ahhhs," and "oh mys." I remember listening to it and nearly breaking down with you as you read it. It's a story that's stuck with me, as I'm sure its has with others. And maybe the story can reach someone that needs to hear it.
"so i heard you like carbon-carbon triple bonds that arent acetylene? more than on in the same molecule" also with my very limited organic knowledge i am shocked that all these are stable also what happens when you try to do addition reactions or partial oxidations to all them conjugated triple/double bonds?
@@That_Chemist It's always fun watching people realize that "highly reactive" often means explosive... I do like "Chemistry happening very hard" as an alternative phrasing.

I love these videos, I feel like you could branch off from here and do a Cursed Chemical *reactions* video and that would hit so hard for your fans. Single chemicals are cool, but there's more out there!
Aww to think that I almost shared a birthday with That (legendary) Chemist! I was due that day but I was three days late. Although rocket science is in my blood.
I love the molecule diacetylcyanide, as not only it is one of the most interesting molecules because it can participate in any reaction or it can be a solvent. The best part is that it is both symmetric, and it is also a chirality molecule. I don’t know if it’s spelt it properly but I meant that the mirror image is it’s on your image so using this molecule, one could make both left-handed and right handed molecules. For example, you could make dextromethorphan, and levrorphan. Or just leverphan and Narcan a.k.a. Nalaxone.

Technically it has protons in every atom ;)
HEY >:(

Carcinogen tier list? My favorite carcinogens are polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons because of their honeycomb like structure
I have one in the works, I'm not sure when it will be posted yet tho
It's not a single moment, but your collab with Explosions&Fire is great. Now if only you could get Nile as well :)
I talk to him every day on discord, Nigel is a really great guy
i had to stop taking chemistry after 10th grade and now I have no clue why any of these molecules are interesting but these videos are almost fascinating enough to make me study the topic more
there are seemingly endless interesting molecules!
I'd love to see you rank research groups, cause some controversy
The whole time I thought you just like personally knew ALL these molecules
i was looking up woolins reagent and noticed you also uploaded that wikipedia image (:
I forgot I even did that lol
The chemistry stories are the best
Divynil Ether looks like an angel preparing to fly! Divine!(Ill)
I work on the first compound! Well, a relative of it. The sunflower family (Asteraceae) is rich in polyacetylene compounds, including thiophenes and thiarubrines (and thioethanones, etc.). I work on thiophene biosynthesis-- very interesting how the polyacetylene scaffold is formed, cyclized into 1 to 3 thiophene rings, and then tailored to become more polar. Check out Konovalov's 2014 review!
Big fan of the comedic slant on chemistry and I love the tierlists, but would be nice to see other forms of satirical chemistry (which is a bit specific) so you don't get stuck in that niche - maybe some Ex&F style stuff?
/ambrosia trifida/ is what we botany freaks call a binomial name or scientific name, rather than a 'technical name'. that's part of a systematic naming scheme that's infinitely more useful for communication than IUPAC in most cases... (looking at the people in the taxonomy dungeons who can't decide where some species belong genetically, constantly switching up genera...)
I love the thumbnail.
Holding a wineglass by the base isnt only for looks, it also minimizes heat transfer from your body to the wine(specifically white wine).
Use dicyanoacetylene and liquid oxygen as propergols for a rocket. Watch the rocket take off in 1000's of pieces.
Dicyanoacetylene is how we make fusion reactors
@@That_Chemist Wouldn't that be fused or melted reactors ?
your 6th birthday must have been wild

Cicutoxin my beloved!! So glad to see my favorite poison feature in a video! (It's my favorite because I wrote a short story in which the protagonist kills a man using water hemlock. I have never experienced cicutoxin irl and have no desire to.)
Maybe not something to put into the highlights, but the immensely sad story from a couple months ago deserves a revisit. I'm not exactly sure how it could be, maybe just a repost as a PSA story time, or something? Idk, it needs to be tasteful though.
It's nice to have a bit of emotional interjection between the "ooos," "ahhhs," and "oh mys." I remember listening to it and nearly breaking down with you as you read it. It's a story that's stuck with me, as I'm sure its has with others. And maybe the story can reach someone that needs to hear it.
I’m planning to start a podcast relatively soon, and you will get more real talk in there
That Hypothetical Chemist channel announcement when?
You must have missed the hypothetical announcement
Most hypothetical newsletters get straight to the hypothetical spam folder. Just too much silly for my inbox to bother with.
"so i heard you like carbon-carbon triple bonds that arent acetylene? more than on in the same molecule"
also with my very limited organic knowledge i am shocked that all these are stable
also what happens when you try to do addition reactions or partial oxidations to all them conjugated triple/double bonds?
chemistry starts happening very hard
@@That_Chemist It's always fun watching people realize that "highly reactive" often means explosive... I do like "Chemistry happening very hard" as an alternative phrasing.
@@christineg8151 was that an attempt to passive-aggressively try to explain what he said as if didnt get it??
@@Glaudge No, my apologies if it came across that way. I just find some of the chemistry euphemisms hilarious!
lol im not a science student at all, actually majoring in Poli sci. This is very informative, school made sciences extra asf but I’ve always love it to the core. Thanks for the content ❤️❤️
Glad you enjoyed it!
6:35 tfw you realize That Chemist’s unfortunate birth date
Hope your 6th bday wasn’t too interrupted or anything 😶
I couldn't watch TV on any channel so I woke my mom up, and she said "Joe this is serious"
I got a toy story and buzz lightyear computer game for my birthday that year, and I had a whole toy story themed party
That was also right when bionicles came out, and we all got mcdonalds for lunch for that birthday
@@That_Chemist hey not bad! Thanks for sharing. Sounds like an all around good time you’ll never forget
@@That_Chemist Dude, BIONICLE lore is wild. You should check out the BioTuber sphere sometime.
Lectka's Illegal Fluoronium sounds like a DnD spell
i was just about to nap but i cant miss out bein this early on a that chemist upload frfr 💯
A friend here about 100 miles north of Miami has a row of ackee trees by his driveway. But he was born and raised in Jamaica where it’s popular.
Definitely one has to be careful about the ripeness of the fruit before trying to eat any…
Hypothetical molecules ranked on the third channel
I will need to spend so much hypothetical time
@@That_Chemist think of the hypothetical ad revenue!
I love these videos, I feel like you could branch off from here and do a Cursed Chemical *reactions* video and that would hit so hard for your fans. Single chemicals are cool, but there's more out there!
Sympathies on the September 11th bday, I'm sure that hasn't ever been awkward!
I really want to see an angry fluorine chemist. How do you flip someone off when you lost your middle finger in a lab accident?
Academic insults are the funniest thing
lectka’s illegal fluoronium has to be in the top 10 moments
I'm no chemist, but a fluorine conference sounds like it'd be hazardous to your health.
I've no idea whats happening, but who needs to when the video is so entertaining
5:35: In all fairness, when hasn't science been about blowing stuff up to see what happens?
Did diazodinitrophenol dearomatise the ring though? It looks aromatic on first glance.
Ok, you do make a compelling argument if you view it as the diazonium phenolate
Aww to think that I almost shared a birthday with That (legendary) Chemist! I was due that day but I was three days late. Although rocket science is in my blood.
Explosions and fire has an ozone generator...... Bring the grimace cups!
I love the molecule diacetylcyanide, as not only it is one of the most interesting molecules because it can participate in any reaction or it can be a solvent.
The best part is that it is both symmetric, and it is also a chirality molecule. I don’t know if it’s spelt it properly but I meant that the mirror image is it’s on your image so using this molecule, one could make both left-handed and right handed molecules.
For example, you could make dextromethorphan, and levrorphan.
Or just leverphan and Narcan a.k.a. Nalaxone.
Ether masks? Yeah they did that in the past for narcosis.
I (not a chemist) now know that there’s a flourine community, with conferences and beef 😂 I love watching these videos and trying to understand it
i think you should teach us about chemical vocabulary and stuff cus i have no idea what an ester is
By activating chemicals in our brains as a chemist through visual and auditorial stimulation. Does that make it human experimentation?
My YT recommendations consist of That Chemist and My Chemical Romance. What am I doing with my life?
hahaha
@@That_Chemist I hate my life almost as much as Mikey Way when he has to play Destroya

Me : *looks between those two* *remembering myself drank tea earlier*
Also me : Wha- .... Why I think it is possible to turn caffeine to toxoflavin ?
i have a chemistry minor but i just barely passed my classes so i only know enough to know that these molecules are straight up fucked
