In this video I confirm that the white solid suspected of being rubidium bromide (see the previous video) is indeed the expected product. I reacted a solution of the suspect rubidium bromide with sodium silicomolybdate to obtain a bright yellow precipitate. I then reacted the remaining RbBr solution with tellurium tetrabromide in concentrated HBr and I obtained a precipitate here as well. This confirms the presence of rubidium to the limits of my capabilities.
In the rest of the video I demonstrate the synthesis of two different thorium compounds. Cs3ThCl7 was made by combining 3 molar equivalents of cesium chloride with a solution of thorium tetrachloride and then evaporating down the mixture to obtain the solid. Thorium superoxide was made by reacting thorium(IV) hydroxide with 35% hydrogen peroxide.

Distilling the product of the reaction done in the previous video after leaving it to sit overnight. Eventually I ended up with some azeotropic hydriodic acid. Not really sold on this as a great method for producing HI. Sure it works but honestly you'd probably be better off just making it from phosphoric acid and potassium iodide. IMHO.

In this video I try using arsenic to color a flame white as was done in the days before things like powdered aluminum. This mix produces arsenic trioxide laden smoke so it should not be repeated by anyone.

In this video I attempt to synthesize RbPbI3.2H2O. Whether it actually worked or not isn't very clear. I think it probably worked which is why it made the cut to be a video but I would greatly value any feedback y'all might be able to provide!!

In this video I generate lead sponge by the reaction of a solution of lead(II) acetate with magnesium ribbon. The lead sponge is then boiled with a solution of barium nitrate to produce barium nitrite and lead monoxide. The barium nitrite is then purified to obtain the final product. My final product didn't look stellar but it may have been the barium nitrate I used to do the synthesis. Regardless I think it worked. :-) Confirmation of refutation will be posted later. Suggestions for easy tests for nitrite ion are most welcome!

In this video I first prepare cesium tetrachloropalladate(II) by reacting two molar equivalents of cesium chloride with one of palladium chloride. I then chlorinate the hell out of this compound suspended in water to produce cesium hexachloropalladate(IV). Both of these compounds have low water solubility and basically look like dirt (they're GREAT compounds to take advantage of if you wanted to hide your wealth as something that appears worthless and from which you can easily and rapidly recover the Pd in metallic form with borohydride; see previous video in this series).

Preparation and detonation of about 3.25 grams of thallium(I) azide. The compound is easily made from thallium(I) nitrate and sodium azide. It is not as sensitive as lead azide but it will still detonate on sudden heating or shock. The explosion produces a cloud of thallium metal particles making the smoke very poisonous.
