There are a million channels that are dropping alkali metals into water, burning magnesium, making thermite, etc. But name one other channel that does hypergolic reactions between vanadium chloride and anhydrous hydrazine. No one. It absolutely baffles me that this channel doesn't have more subscribers! Your stuff is amazing and wonderfully executed!
the beautiful macro shot makes it completely understandable why ancient alchemists thought that crystals had an element of life involved in their growth
We make high purity TiCl4 where I work. VCl4 is a contaminant in the process, and it is very difficult to remove completely through standard distillation (< 0.1 ppb). Great video!
Every time I watch a new CF video I think that no reaction can amaze me now. Then Felix shows us something even more astonishing. These vanadium flowers are beautiful.
Mandatory comment for the algorithmic gods. :) Rare energetic reactions of liquid death and destruction are kinda fun to watch especially with the great camera work.
One cool thing about this compound that this video missed is that it's one of the few volatile compounds that's paramagnetic. If you have some leftover, that would be a fun property to explore in a future video. Regardless, those colorful flowers are spectacular, excellent demonstration!
The cinematography is really top-tier! And he's got some very unusual/dangerous things to show us you don't see anywhere else. Seriously one of the most underrated channels on RUclips!
Both of my parents worked for a vanadium company and I have been around VCl4, VOCl3, and many other vanadyl compounds; I have never seen anything quite like the VCl4 crystals growing. Beautiful videography as always!! I wish I could recall the exact compound, but the most beautiful vanadium compound I have seen was liquid at room temperature and opaque cobalt blue chrome in color. If I recall the compound, I will post it below.
The similarities between these crystals growing and a number of different plants, plant parts, and other natural formations, like snowflakes, water overflows, glass breaking, is pretty awesome.
I've asked before but I'll ask again... I hope you one day show chlorine trifluoride. It's a chemical with its own mythos behind it, and because you're able to treat absurdly dangerous reagents like pretty much any other chemical while literally showing the reactions that make said chemicals particularly dangerous, I think you're uniquely qualified for such a demonstration!
THANK YOU Chemical Force, I love your videos and I'm always so happy to see a new post, before I've even started watching the video. You are and will forever be one of my favourite channels. Excellent choice of reactions, beautifully filmed and just excellent in every way! Keep up the great work and thank you so much for sharing your incredible work with us again and so so beautifully filmed as well! 🫀
I'm not sure why YT recommended this to me, never been into chemistry. Gotta say, I was expecting some weird project that actually grew real flowers from liquid metal. I was not disappointed though, as the "flowers" produced are quite wonderful and intriguing.
Some of the crystals reminded me of being a child with my chemistry set. The old sets were dangerous but did not include chlorine gas or vanadium tetrachloride! Great video!
You've shown us so many really cool chemicals that do amazing things. But nothing as beautiful and interesting as this one. It's my favorite! You have magic at your fingertips, Felicks!
Good old vanadium tet - like TiCl4 only orange - had a little when I was a kid. Too toxic & expensive to use for shows. The way to do TiCl4 is let it fume by NH4OH - that way you get double the smoke and it's less acidic.... There was a simple chemical flower for kids but I've forgotten what it entailed - ammonia plus something - you'd put fabric bluing or food coloring for colors... this is the big kid version 😊 Very nice chemistry! Cheers...
Your video's are awesome! With lots of reactions you show, I am thinking to myself that that is the kind of thing that happens in hydrothermal and other vents inside the earth to produce various minerals.
I'm sure you have plenty of music to use, but may I suggest, UK DJ/EBM artist here on YT: _Made by John_ (aka _Plainly Difficult,_ his main on the RUclips side). Fantastic work, btw. Love the quality.
That vanadium flower formation is suitably impressive. Oh, in case anyone is thinking of doing this at home, DON'T. Transition metal polyhalides have a habit of being *lively* in ways that can ruin your day, or for that matter the rest of your life, if they start engaging in unexpected and uncontrolled reactions. Leave this chemistry to people who really know what they're doing, and have several years of both laboratory experience AND safety training under their belts. Likewise, burning magnesium is a substance I would put in the "professionals only" category, as harrowing accidents are just around the corner once that combustion process is underway. Anyone who wants a toe curling example, learn what happened when Honda built a magnesium Formula One car ... and it caught fire. If you want to emulate this individual, spend a decade learning chemistry in properly constituted classes. My next question, aimed at course at our tame professional chemist, is this ... do "flowers" of this sort occur with other transition metal polyhalides, or are some of those too dangerous to attempt this with? I'm thinking chromium would be a risky choice, manganese similarly troublesome, and I hear that TiCl4 is a shrapnel risk in the wrong setting ...
Greetings and Salutations, Sir. I was wondering if you’d ever make a video meticulously about making coffee with chemistry that would be very fascinating to say the least.

wow. that crystal formation footage is some of the best you've ever uploaded.

Gotta devickle your tickle.

Why on Earth this channel doesn't have at least a million subs? It's SUPERB.

Seriously one of the most underrated channels on RUclips!
It never ceases to amaze me how *_angry_* all your variety of smokes seem to be.
I can tell as a glance that a single breath would F me up forever 😅
The decaying process is just as captivating.
Chemical Force, the channel where art and chemistry collide. Keep up the good work sir!
Those flowers were one of the most amazing things I've ever seen
The BEST, absolutely just THE best. You are freakin awesome!!! Thank you so much for bringing your scientific artistry to us, the humble masses.
That macro lens capture of the forming crystals looks organic. Beautiful.
Beautiful macros
"Opened safely" in the context of that ampoule is, of course, relative. 😮

Very cool, I wanna see that cobalt blue chrome one now lol, i bet it’s incredible.
Vanadium Flowers? Sounds like an Indie band.
Once again, you've introduced me to some chemistry that I never even knew I was missing.
Also, the videography is outstanding!
Beautiful macro photography.
The crystal growth was phenomenal. Thank you.
Beautiful art - you got a real appreciation for how those reactions should be shown. It’s joy to watch. Thank you!!!
You make chemistry SO DANG BEAUTIFUL ❤😍
After this video finishes I’m going to your Patreon to start supporting you 🎉
This is indeed such a beautiful chemical, I doubt there's any reaction with it that doesn't look stunning.
The similarities between these crystals growing and a number of different plants, plant parts, and other natural formations, like snowflakes, water overflows, glass breaking, is pretty awesome.
The flowers are just magic.
Forming the complex salt with cesium chloride was very interesting.
Beautiful flowers
I couldn't imagine having to clean up that mess. Thank you for your videos

Best chemistry cinematography on YT.
awesome. And sooo much cleaning... love it!
What an insanely high quality video 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Breathtaking footage as always. One comment, I'd take sideways video with decent resolution over vertical video any day.

Chemistrees . Great stuff as usual.👨🔬🧪⚗️
Looks delicious.
Nice video, I’ll be enjoy it cuz today is my birthday
Vanadium broccoli, Mob kun would be so happy!
heavy cold smoke iss so neat
Distillation under a flow of chlorine gas. Just a normal day.
fantastic video
