it's bad enough when your reagent ignites wet sand, but the clouds of hot hydrofluoric acid are your special door prize if you're foolhardy enough to hang around and watch the fireworks.

if we're talking about 'crap-your-pants chemistry' then Xenon hexafluoride (XeF6) is pretty tasty.
no thanks for me, same for FOOF.
I used to work in an area that used high conc AHF. Horribly nasty stuff that would preferentially react with the calcium in your body if you were unlucky enough to come into contact with it. Horrific burns, cardiac arrest (due to calcium content of the heart), etc. were all consequence of exposure.no thanks for me, same for FOOF.

Sorry, I don't get that. It's a link to Xenon gass use for comedic purposes.

You don't get it? Is it the Chemistry equivalent to Cool Story Bro?
I remembered reading an experience report about someone actually attempted to get high from Xenon gas and linked you to it as I though it was relevant and you might find it interesting!

Sorry, yes it was funny. I thought it was in relation to the AHF I mentioned and I couldn't make the link.I remembered reading an experience report about someone actually attempted to get high from Xenon gas and linked you to it as I though it was relevant and you might find it interesting!

Loving this! Off to read some more.
Well, I found this book in pdf form on that thread : "Ignite", the history of developing rocket fuels.It seems to be a classic book (1972) that´s out of print,
so I hope if I post the hint to the pdf file I do not violate any copyrights.
Just read the chapter about Hydrogen Peroxide as an oxidizing agent
and even me the layman could halfway understand it.
