I mostly talk about graphene and its application in medicine on my youtube channel. Your content is really helpful, and this video is amazing. Thank you for your enormous effort to make these videos. Keep this up🌷🌷.
fuck graphene. it's just a buzzword. i've seen so many papers about how graphene can do things with 10x the efficiency/speed/accuracy/etc., but i've never once seen graphene used in an actual product
Thanks for the video! This is really cool and seems really useful. I’m working in R&D right now as a chemE and seeing novel materials exhibit properties like this is awesome. Obviously there’s financial incentive to research this as we see all these publications, but it makes me wonder how just how far along the commercialization process are we. Again thanks and really cool vid!
I would absolutely dig a follow up fullerene chem vid. Doing wacky shit like diels alder, knoevenagel condensation, insertion (sus) of gas and other molecules. There is even dicarbon molecule bridging 2 lanthanum atoms (La2C2) encased in fullerene. Truly cursed stuff
n-Fullerenes (especially 60) aren't non-natural at all, but super rare on earth. They have been observed in abundance in planetary nebulae, and in red dwarfs. I can send the source if you'd like. Also, you should look into endohedral fullerenes and their synthesis, its a super interesting field.
So, graphene is a flat sheet of carbon. Fullerene is a folded sheet of graphene into a ball. Graphfullerene is a flat sheet of fullerene. Is there going to be Graphfullerenefullerene? Or Graphfullerene nanotubes?
6:05 nooo the first question for me is HOW tf did they characterize such a complex structure and are confident they made such a compound. Is XRD that powerful that it can elucidate such complex and large unit cells and put it together?
@@totalsynthesis Didn't you have checked? What you have say in the video is not what is written in the subtitles. It seems subtitles are talking about something called "gibberelin" and it's critical role in plants and mankind.
Is it though? Combustion engine, HCl, impact wrench, all potentially lethal to let untrained people just play around with... used properly, most dangerous things are incredibly useful. Danger is a consideration from usefulness, because if it's not useful you don't need to use it. Novelty is viewed under the lens of functionality, but danger should still factor in if it is useful... not trying to sound like a wisea$$, just trying to make that distinction

Awesome, will check out

Man we really are never going to run out of carbon allotropes! 2d polycubane sheets when?

This is absolutely insane! C60 in a graphene like structure. This is fascinating.
Wow, I'm early, just watched the kekulene vid and it lead me here. Wow. Good video, kinda no clue what is happening but good video nonetheless.
Cool, thanks for exploring further!
Yes! More physical organic!
Now we need graphullerene nanotubes.

I know absolutely nothing of which you speak other than agreeing with the fact of a follow up video would be cool! 😁
❤❤❤ it looks like ball

Yea I agree, I actually call out in the video that they are formed geologically so my wording was inaccurate lol :) please share that!
Love it
Graphullerene=sheet of fullerene
Fullegraphullerenene=ball of sheets of graphullerene
Graphfullegrafphullerenenenene=....
So, graphene is a flat sheet of carbon. Fullerene is a folded sheet of graphene into a ball. Graphfullerene is a flat sheet of fullerene. Is there going to be Graphfullerenefullerene? Or Graphfullerene nanotubes?
With enough time these crazy material scientists might get there but not sure if the tubes could be formed (e.g. what size)
6:05 nooo the first question for me is HOW tf did they characterize such a complex structure and are confident they made such a compound. Is XRD that powerful that it can elucidate such complex and large unit cells and put it together?
Yep. As long as you have a good quality probe, it works well, even for bigger networks
@@totalsynthesis Man that's so cool.
Carbon Nano-Onions anyone?
What is going on with the subtitles?
Whats wrong with them?

@@Haplo-san Oh dang, for some reason it used my other video's subtitles - fixed it. Thanks!!
Bisch du ar ETH wül dini stimm chunnt mit bekannt vor
Same in German pls 😂
It's ironic how ppl always get super excited about new science stuff that can potentially destroy and be incredibly dangerous
Is it though? Combustion engine, HCl, impact wrench, all potentially lethal to let untrained people just play around with... used properly, most dangerous things are incredibly useful.
