    Remember, Tetra *cene* is a polycyclic hydrocarbon. I used to get Tetrazene and Tetracene mixed up all the time and got corrected for it. A lot.

      Yeah I saw that on google a few days after posting the video. I figured I correct it in a later vid. Why did you take your video on tetraZene down?

    Good video! I just wish there was a way to convert all my Tetrazene to something more useful like a Nitrotetrazole salt.

    changing your acidity (excess of acetic acid) during diazotization causes aminoguanidine to cyclize to guanyl azide. in the presence of mineral acids this will convert to 5 amino-tetrazole. tetracene and tetrazene are same-the latter is the German spelling. AGB can be made from calcium cyanamide reacting with hydrazine sulfate quite readily

    Why didn't you desoved the carbonate not in water? I mean you use 400 odd ml of destilled water in the first place. You could have desoved it and titrated in the vinegar, right?

    What temp did you dissolve the Aminoguanidine bicarbonate? How much did you wash the finished product?

    • @DBXLabs
      @DBXLabs  3 года назад +1

      I believe it was around 60 degrees Celsius that I dissolved the AQBC at. I washed the tetrazene with cold water in two parts.
      If you are trying out this synthesis right now, you’d probably have better luck following the similar procedure seen on ReactiveChem’s bitchute. I’m not quite sure what it is but a lot of people have had problems in replicating similar yields following this outlined procedure. I intend to make a new streamlined video on the synthesis some time in the coming months.

    I tried this and got the same results as John-Michael got. I have run the process twice and got a precipitate but it is not tetrazine.
    I followed your video step by step. What went wrong?
    Thanks, JP Jones

      Hey, sorry it didn’t work for you. I’m thinking about doing another video on this synthesis since it appears that there’s been problems for many people in the outlined synthesis.
      What I can only guess might be the problem is the type of vinegar being used. I personally used “Food Lion” brand vinegar in this video and if I recall correctly, that was the only store bought vinegar that I’ve been able to get to work. The vinegar might be chemically identical across the board but the concentration likely varies a bit.
      I’d recommend you follow The PubChem synthesis and titration your vinegar to determine how to make the stoichiometry work for whatever brand vinegar you use.
      Hope this helps, I’m really not sure what else you should try besides checking the vinegar.

    Is this a joke? You don't even show how you removed the product from the solution.......if you even did.

      @DBXLabs  3 года назад +4

      Danger Close Yeah, certainly isn’t a joke. If you would like to affirm the reputability of the synthesis I devised for yourself, ReactiveChem did a video following my exact procedures and he showed the product precipitation.
      The video you watched was produced within two weeks of my making of this channel. There were flaws, just like the flaws that you can find in any of my first 30 videos. This channel has been a testament to my progress in producing these videos; good videos with the bad.
      Sorry if you didn’t like the video, but I assure you there was no funny business that you speculate.

    • @DBXLabs
      @DBXLabs  3 года назад

      Thomas Padua the reaction that takes place in the synthesis is a diazonation of Aminoguanidine by nitrite in an acidic environment. The Tetrezene compound is an entirely new compound rather than a mixture. It can only be formed via this nitrite diazonation.
