Nice crop of crystals. Would you post details of your synthesis or at least a reference please?

There's a small plastic-coated disc magnet the spark skirts over to reach ground, thus the segmented spark. A 10 foot piece of gray pvc purchased for
under 2 dollars was cut to a 6 foot length. A paper towel was sleeved over the tubing, charging the fruit. This evolved from first testing fruit as an
electrode atop an empty metal jar.

Started with anthranilic acid,
1. diazotized then decomposed via Sandmeyer reaction to get o-chlorobenzoic acid (general procedure)
2. Ullmann reaction between aniline and o-chlorobenzoic acid (Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 2, p.15, 1943)
3. Intramolecular condensation of N-phenylanthranilic acid to acridone (Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 2, p.15, 1943)
4. Methylation of acridone with methyl iodide to get N-methylacridone (general procedure)
5. Reductive coupling of N-methylacridone with zinc to get N,N'-dimethyl-9,9'-biacridine
6. Dissolving N,N'-dimethyl-9,9'-biacridine in hot dilute nitric acid, lucigenin crystallizing out on cooling

@ Valentine
Thanks for the outline for lucigenin.
I actually did a search online line and found this:

Nice The name of the chemical alone is worth the post! But I love the yellow hue too.

Have any of you made isocyanides? I just made some and I would say 3 things: it has a really bad odor, it causes a really massive headache what won't
cease from anything and it goes through latex gloves.
-in your body isocyanides isomerize to cyanides, so be smart when working with these 
-they are highly UV active and my compound had a really nice color as seen above. Click on the pics and see my other pictures(:
I have a blog where I post my pictures from my work: http://labphoto.tumblr.com/

I kinda have my doubts about that (not that nitriles are particularly hazardous in many cases). I would expect hydration to N-alkyl-formamides to be
their primary fate.

Valentine, this pics with lucigenin is simply amazing.
I have just found a few g of it in the lab, I'm going to try out something with it tomorrow(:

Methyl, butyl, pentyl, methylisocyanoacetate, ethylisocyanoacetate, and 2-napthylisocyanide. They're the types of chemicals where you make the person
running them wear a saranex suit when they come out of the lab to keep the stink inside.

75g of lead acetate- prepared with lead powder, 80% acetic acid and 35% H2O2 in a reflux setup. It only took about half an hour for the 47.5g of lead
to dissolve completely and it was very exothermic. Now... Time to make a coffee and sweeten it

Those crystals are AMAZING  a few weeks ago, I had a dream that I couldn't resist

The key to making the crystals was extremely slow cooling. I put the hot syrupy liquid into an insulated thermos lunchbox, wrapped a towel around the
beaker and sealed up the lunchbox. Even 5 hours later the beaker was still warm but no crystals, only the next morning I found the mass crystallized,
yay!

The barium salts or complexes of alloxan 5 oxime grown under the microscope. Why you sometimes get two distinct compounds forming is not clear they
are both Ba oximates.

A copper sulfate crystal that grew in one of my beakers. To the right, copper sulfate is combined with ammonium sulfate (white, far right) to form the
ionic salt Cu(NH4)2(SO4)2 , a nice robin's egg blue. This is an example of a Tutton salt, with the general formula [M(II)][M(I)]2(SO4)2, where M are
cations.
To the left, copper sulfate has been complexed with ammonia (far right). The ammonia ligands interact with the copper's d orbitals, causing the color
to change to a deep indigo.
I think it's a neat illustration of the ionic compound being a 'dilution' of color whereas the covalent bonding alters the color.

Are many people using microscopes?

Good use of a microscope in the lab. I am wondering, do many people find microscopes useful in the home lab? This seems like a great example of a
good use (two pure crystals forming as the same time). Seems like it would be a reasonable investment as an analytic qualitative tool to identify
crystal structure(?)
