Hey Mommy! Look what I can do!

We first synthesized Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) Oxalate, which was then dissolved with 9,10-diphenylanthracene in diethyl phthalate. The glowing began when a mixture of diethyl phthalate and 35% hydrogen peroxide was added to the former mixture.

I'm sure that's probably more then you wanted to know.

lol dude, that rocks. Chemistry is awesome. It's not as cool as it's parent, but still awesome. That wasn't a cigar floating in there was it? I noticed that the speed of rotation would change, what caused that? Also, on the side of the page were a bunch of videos about Luminol; is that pretty much what you guys made?

We can control the speed of the spinning using the magnet in the hotplate (it makes stirring a lot easier!

I'm thinking that Luminol is pretty much similar to what we made.

Yeah... thanks Sir Mixalot So dumb it down for me a touch. Where any of the chemicals blue and glowing or did they interact that way? I find stuff like that very interesting and some do hope to know some of that stuff. The only chemistry I know is that vast quantities of alcohol introduced to the male species makes women look much better. Neat stuff though

Both chemicals were clear and transparent before mixing.
