Forget the convenience of arsenic and thallium and beryllium too!
Today, we talk about a theoretical new poison!
C4Se(SiF4)COOCs(CN)2,
also carboxyldicyanoselenophene trifluorosilicide caesium salt.
CDSPTSC for "short".
Mmm... Our favorite poison group, cyanide, which also has a habit of complexing...
The caesium and SiF3 react to form CsF and others, CsF tears through organ and cell alike.
Silicon and fluorine tend to be bad for you.
And last but dot least Organoselenium, which has a habit of being toxic in a variety of conditions.
Join us next time (or just make one yourself). On...
Make That Toxin!
