I'm so happy to hear it! It's very cool that you even have it. It's my understanding that this compound is still under copyright and only a few companies are licensed to carry it (and I hear they are always sold out). It is a brilliant blue though and I can't wait to see it more widely used.
@@integral_chemistry for large brands I believe Golden is the only distributor but both Kremer and Pigment Tokyo carry the pigment so several small shops are producing it to be sold on Etsy.
@@integral_chemistry i just wanna see stuff explode and change. the "why" part of it is even more fun. yet here i am learning about the angles of bond in molecules.
Very nice to see that you can just use the hydroxides! It makes sense that you could, since pyrolysis is how you get from the hydroxide to the oxide, but now I feel like I did this the hard way! Future me, take note!
Having seen some of your videos, you already have the skills needed to make YInMn blue yourself from the metal oxides if you wanted to make it yourself. All you need is a kiln, even a tiny one, that can hit 1200°C.
It is unfortunate how tough it is to anneal at these kind of temps under a vacuum/inert gas, or with added oxygen.. I'm still working on a solution there but I think what I'm going to do eventually when I revisit this project is a micro-scale version in a borosilicate tube where I can actually control those conditions.
I'm still working out a liquid nitrogen source but that would be super cool to try eventually! And I actually made these myself using stoneware clay. Only issue I ran into there is that at these kind of temps I've had cobalt fuse to the silicate in the crucibles themselves which creates an extremely durable and annoying "sticking" situation. Kinda like eggs sticking to a pan but a million times worse lol
I assume one can start with all oxides instead. At least that's how I'm planning to make it. I have all 3 oxides and yesterday my quartz crucible arrived. It would be nice to try capturing it convert to a pigment in a time lapse video. I'm not sure how I'd do it besides just an aerial shot with the furnace lid open but it'd still be cool to record 🤔 Regarding using just oxides, I figure the heat will soon convert any hydroxides to oxides anyway 🤔 I've been meaning to do YInMn blue for a while, if I'd been quicker I could've beaten you plus that other person to be the first youtube yinmn synthesiser 🙃 At least I'm still the first to make iodoethane 😊
Yeah you could 100% use the oxides (and honestly likely get a better result). As you said the hydroxides are converted to oxides anyway by heat, and the minor issue with starting with hydroxides is that some water is produced upon decomposition which steals some of the oxygen required to push the reaction forward and get a more brilliant blue color. I'll also say my first idea with this was to load the oxides into a quartz test tube and heat under a bunsen burner until the pigment fused, but come to find out it takes several hours for that to happen and I didn't have enough propane 😅 Definitely reach out with your final result, I'd like to see it!
That's pretty rad btw 😎 I don't really watch TH-cam so I'm not exactly sure what has/has not been done on here, but I think a couple of my vids haven't been done on here (methyl acetate, sodium chromate, etc.) but again, not totally sure 😅
@@SodiumInteresting Hmm I'm not exactly sure what I used as a mass percent. I was going on a 5:4:2 YInMn molar ratio which i believe is a bit over 10% mass ratio
I’m doing this synthesis right know while making the y(OH)3 it turned brown did you have that problem. I’m guessing oxidation to form YO.I’m hoping it will still work
I didn't have that issue (I don't think), but I think it's more likely some impurity burning up as yttrium oxide is perfectly white. Regardless it should work perfectly fine bc whatever it is will Def burn up in the kiln 😁
@@integral_chemistry turns out it was my source of yttrium I’m lead to believe it’s actually manganese and formed manganese dioxide from the hydroxide.
I make YInMn blue regularly from the oxides. Yttrium oxide is pure white and will not turn brown when heated. It may still work. I would not be surprised if you get a grayer, duller, blue than expected. There are some impurities that are found in some sources of yttrium oxide that interfere with the reaction. Not enough to keep it from turning blue, but enough that it never develops the vibrant saturated color expected of YInMn blue. This will however, interfere enough in making the greens you get when you replace indium with aluminum and manganese with copper and titanium so that it fails altogether. If it was really impure yttrium, you may have the stuff turn dark chocolate brown when heated with indium and manganese. Makes a great brown pigment as a consolation prize though. Or it might just turn out fine. Only one way to find out. How did it turn out?
Sir, sir, How can you tell me about the Reclamation and recycling of black oil? A big help. Black waste oil, including waste engine oil, lube oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil, and dirty oils. Black oil can be treated and recycled to base oil SN500 using activated clay and other chemicals. What are the methods and chemicals used for this? Can you tell me how to do it? Can you tell me the method?
I have YinMn in my watercolour palette so watching this video was amazingly cool. I love getting to learn more about the pigments I use daily.

this video was calming, informative and fun at the same time. chemistry is always fun if its not something u have to study for exam😭
Literally 😅 it's unfortunate that you have to sit through so many countless hours of dry theory before chemistry gets fun

Gorgeous colour 💙
As a Graff Writer and amateur Chemist... This one makes me smile.
Wow so Beautiful! Nice video my brother! Take care, stay safe! 🙌🏻🌟
Thank you so much! :)
Thanks for the video sir
The synthetic ultramarine blue pigment is also very nice. You should try it.
I might give that a shot eventually, the process produces some very dangerous gasses I'm trying to figure out how to deal with
@@integral_chemistry Probably, it's too hard to try because of the amount of sulfur dioxide gas emitted.
Great pigment! Mulling and paint making man here if you need one 😉🙌

Excelsior!
Do you have a video on making those crucibles?
hello sir, can you help me in synthsizing Aluminum silicate? I couldn't found any reference online!
I think the easiest way would be to cook aluminum oxide and silicon dioxide together at extremely high heat to get them to fuse.
What is the formula to get the right amount of manganese to add to the mixture please
As beautiful as expensive... 😍
What about making YBCO for some superconducted leviatation? 😎
Btw.: what are these crucibles made of?
He would just need an oxygen tank during the annealing step to get the right oxygen stoichiometry.
@@chemistryreacts Yeah, difficult to do at home... but despite of it an amazing part of yttrium chemisty, wasn't it?

@@integral_chemistry 10% manganese oxide apparently gives the bluest pigment.
YIn0.8Mn0.2O3
@@integral_chemistry yeah it's satisfying to fill those gaps. An early one I did was oxalyl chloride
