About the Urushibara catalyst: I was reading recently the Urushibara papers from the 1960s and the Hato book from 1971, they mention in several places that 10% or even more contamination with ZnO of the initial zinc powder did not affect at all the activity of the final catalyst. For all we know you've got perfectly good Urushibara intermediate there.

2018-10-28 23:28:30 +0000 UTCRe the strike, I still have to mourn the loss of any good chemistry, 😥 and hope it gets posted somewhere else 🙏.

2018-10-28 11:17:05 +0000 UTCMore great progress! If the Urushibara Nickel doesn't work, it seems like it would still make a good video on its own.
