Is that the indicator that is also the least bad denaturant for ethanol?

Nope, it's just the old high school science class standard titration indicator. I tested the tap water with it in class once because I was bored.

Edit: a quick search shows me that you're thinking of methyl violet. It's used more as a dye there than an actual additive. Typically methanol is used but pyridine can be used too.

It's what the active ingredient in ExLax(r) used to be.

The nitrogen at the top of the ring has four bonds. How does that work?

Also the lower left carbon just has three. I don't remember much of my OChem, is there a mechanism for that?

It's called an internal salt. The nitrogen would carry a net + charge, the carbon would be -, and the overall compound neutral. It wouldn't be very stable for a lot of reasons. If the bonds were stable enough, it would still tend to polymerize.

Neat, thanks. I can't figure anything with that much single-bond nitrogen is highly stable anyway, so factoring for that as well feels like gilding the lily. The highly explosive lily.

The real purpose of the Xenon atom is to add even more fluorines to the compound. You know, because six wasn't enough...

Not really random, it spells out "gently caress rear end oh you die now fat bra" something

Another egregious example of this sort of thing is the opening credits of Metal Gear Solid 2.

I'm just going to pretend that this is what Samuel Jackson's character mixed up in Formula 51/The 51st State that made Meat Loaf explode. Though I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to stir this too much. Or pour it.

I was skimming the wikipedia articles on simple azides, and I think a game called Guess The Azide would be really exciting:

- This high-energy compound combusts spontaneously
- It may explode, sometimes even without apparent provocation
- Very explosive and too sensitive for any practical use
- Usually handled and stored under water in insulated rubber containers
- Notoriously unstable and may spontaneously detonate at any temperature
- Volatile and highly toxic, its vapor can cause violent headaches
- Has caused deaths for decades
- Can without clear cause detonate spontaneously
- A practical application is unlikely due to the high instability
- More so than other azides, is explosive
- Even more explosive and too sensitive to be used commercially
