Hi.
Alkali metal ozonides are well known compounds. But in literature there is very little mentions that also exist ammonium ozonide. It's stable just at
very low temperatures and it decompose in to ammonium nitrate, oxygen and water. Very interesting and rare compound.

It is an interesting compound. I have watched this video. He makes videos on fairly rare compounds, it is bad that he does not synthesize anything.

Most chemists on youtube do synthesis. I am glad that someone do these videos on properties of unusual compounds.

Yes, but no one uses such rare compounds in synthesis on YouTube.

Both types of videos have a place besides each other. I also enjoy the remarkable chemistry, demonstrated by ChemicalForce. He has cool chemicals, but
even more important, the quality of his videos (lighting, composition, use of close-ups, changing camera viewpoints, overall image quality) is very
good.
On the other hand, having videos of synthesis of certain chemicals also is good. These videos often are about more accessible chemicals.
So, both types of videos have their own merits and it is good to have them besides each other.

Imagine how many good things can be done with similar compounds. If someone uses similar compounds in synthesis, then chemistry will move to a new
level on YouTube. Almost all channels synthesize the same chemicals.

I agree about the level on Youtube, but the involved chemistry will also be completely out of reach for the average home chemist. Who has access to
stuff like BBr3, B10H14, KO2, liquid O3, just to name a few rare chemicals? A synthesis reaction with e.g. BBr3, made into a video most likely is not
that interesting to watch for many people, simply because 99% of the people, watching it, will ever have access to BBr3 and never will be able to do
the synthesis. Showing some basis properties of the stuff though and some typical reactions of the compound can be quite entertaining. I really liked
the videos with liquid O3, seeing the deep blue color.
