Glad I didn't lose it all.

I used to make lemon curd and whenever I made it, it inevitably had a metallic taste/smell. And because I had strained the curd through a metal sieve and somehow the acidity from the lemon probably caused some reaction and therefore my curd always ended up with a metallic taste/smell. I guess that metallic taste/smell probably was something leeching off some of the metal and chemically reacted to have similar properties of the chemical you made. Who knows. I suck at chemistry.

Being able to smell metal makes a lot of sense with how blood is just a very important thing to smell for anything that has it and hunts things that have it, which is an interesting thing on it's own. The way the smell only activates when it's mixed with your body fluids, it's like it was made this way specifically for creatures to smell it. And you can't even confuse it for metal because metal doesn't smell unless you touch it.

I remember that using old radio tubes for airgun target practice there was a very characteristic smell. The getter (cesium?) oxidises rapidly when exposed to the air.

Cool video. You might have used a mildly acidic aqueous extraction in the beginning in order to remove the TEA. I'm surprised you didn't get too much polymerization or even Michael additions into the enone. One thing you can do to help avoid unwanted polymerizations is add a tiny bit of BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene) to your distillation flask. This is a radical inhibitor which can help suppress unwanted polymerization. Finally, while IR is okay for fingerprinting the material, if you really want to get an idea of the purity, I would highly recommend NMR if you can find someone to run it for you! Depending on the nature of future experiments, I could probably help you out there! :)

@@randomperson1934 _"This sentence is grammatically correct, but it's wordy, and hard to read"_ - yeah, right. Go and tell that to James Joyce, heh heh... Y'see, I grew up reading books by Stanisław Lem, and oftentimes in his writings a sentence was like half a page long - but then Slavic languages (and in fact any other language with a proper grammar, that is with declension and inflections - be it German, French, Greek, Latin and others) tend to use long sentences, which are non-issue for their native speakers. English, on the other hand, being a highly developed Creole language fares poorly in this aspect, so native speakers tend to keep their sentences short - and since they do so, all the time, they do not have much exercise in "composing and understanding highly complex multi-tiered compound sentences", and thus when they see one they just perplexed. "It's all Greek to me"... Yes, I am aware of this problem - I encountered it before; many years ago I tried to explain some complex issue to a certain English gal, and she cut me in half-sentence saying "I already forgot what was at the beginning of the sentence". Which in turn really puzzled me, and I thought "how come, how bizarre - here I am, a non-native English speaker, and I have no problem with following such constructs - yet she, who's been speaking this language every day of her life for well over twenty years..." Yes, she has been, but I digress here. Y'see, my point (in my previous comment) was NOT to make a convoluted piece of speech (read: "writing"), but merely to point out to my "disagreeator" [disagreeator - a person with whom we are in disagreement], that he missed the point of the exercise done by Nile Red, which was... Well, we all know what it was, don't we? Therefore no need to explain, QED. And yes, my "CHOICE OF WORDS" might not be the best of the best, but y'know - that's the problem with non-native speakers... "Grammarly's cutting edge technology helps" - well, it doesn't really help much - in fact, most of the time it is more distraction and annoyance than "help". The problem with "artificial intelligence" is that it is still more "artificial" than "intelligence" - Tom Scott has made couple of videos on the subject "why computers suck at translation" and related issues - if you're interested here are links: Why Computers Suck At Translation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXWb0pmniMfRfLg.html Crash Blossoms and Being Drunk - Ambiguity: kzread.info/dash/bejne/npiIlMlroae3frQ.html The Sentences Computers Can't Understand, But Humans Can: kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2eqq6eEh9W2abQ.html and - to some extent - The Hidden Rules of Conversation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e355w6-tfrHFlLA.html All of those videos show how complex, context-dependent and vague/ undefined in "zero-one" fashion all natural languages are - and therefore how confusing they can be for any "IA parser". It's like the problem with spellchecker - should I type, by mistake, "steel" instead of "still" no spellchecker would pointy it as a mistake - but if I type "pyta" in Polish text (a verb, third person singular, present tense - "[he] asks"; the personal pronoun is omitted, as Slavic languages are "pro-dop/ null subject" languages) Word would flag it as an "obscene word" - since "pyta" (a noun, feminine gender, singular, nominative case) is kinda vulgar, albeit dated, term for "penis". And about "compelling, understandable writing that makes an impact on your reader" - sorry, I don't give a... erm, "I couldn't care less" whether a half-educated and/ or "thickish" reader would "understand" my writing, find it "compelling" or whether it would make any "impact" on him or her (I hope I'm not misgenderrymandering anybody, heh heh...). But, kidding aside - the truth is I DON'T CARE. I'm doing my writings with an educated and sharp-witted reader in mind - and if someone finds reading my comments difficult, then my advice can be summed up in a two-word sentence. (Which is "don't read", in case anyone wonders...). And yes, absolutely - I could just say that right at the beginning, but... now you know. Still, "better late then never", as my auntie used to say whenever she was late for a train... Cheers!

This is a great video to leave in the backround while you do something else

I am a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. More recently I have been doing more proposals, but my graduate research was synthetic inorganic chemistry, and professionally I was more of a synthetic organic chemist. These videos are awesome, and make me miss working in a lab. It also reminds me that I miss undergrad and grad research less... I don't think I could distill off solvent without a rotovap, and a combiflash would have been pretty awesome. It would be cool to try to reproduce the exact reaction that goes on when the oil of your skin comes in contact with metal.
