C6N20 looks like a computational chemist came up with it because there's no data on Pubchem except for structure and some calculated stuff.

So apparently they still exist, still sell FOOF, and are still infamous for that.

Syd Midnight posted:IANAC but I when searched the name, the first 12 results were "about" pages for them, either their domains or chem supply sites. The 13th result was a blogspot stub about FOOF that included a short recipe/suicide method: That excerpt is from an XKCD What-If that was something like "What's the most dangerous thing I can do with a pressure cooker?"

Yep, and it gets worse after producing FOOF. quote:If your house is heated by natural gas, and it happens to contain hydrogen sulfide, you could pipe some of it into your container of O2F2. In addition to a massive explosion, this will also produce a cloud of hydrogen fluoride gas. Hydrogen fluoride can dissolve human tissue on contact, starting with your lungs and corneas.

Elmnt80 posted:If you're talking about an automotive 02 sensor, they need to hit a minimum of 300°F to work. I'm not sure having a heat source that can possibly spark in an o2 line is a good idea. Zirconia sensors are a thing, but they aren't the only tech. A better option would be fuel cell sensors, these use a chemical reaction cell which generates a voltage in the presence of oxygen.

Apparently element 118 has some weird as gently caress orbitals, since it's finally big enough for relativity to notice it exists Above: classical mechanics. Below: special relativity.  By "weird as gently caress", I of course mean "basically nonexistent". If any of it was stable the chemistry would be insane.
