Super interesting compound. I wish somehow I could watch footage of strengs experiments. I bet some of those explosions would be really cool in slow mo lol

Sand Won't Save You This Time, which somehow isn't in the official listing despite it being one of the better ones of "Things I Won't Work With," comes with an accompanying video of chlorine triflouride doing its thing and setting quite a few normally-not-flammable things on fire, back from the era of Youtube when Youtube was good.

The video won't show for me. Oh well. The dioxygen difluoride article was a hell of a read. I liked how free fluoride radicals are described as "free of their gentle and forgiving nature".

Super cool. I can't imagine having to explain what happened to the lab manager after burning through the lab floor and a few feet of gravel and sand below lol
