Hi, I am a Physics student, therefore I have quite limited knowledge in Chemistry. I am so curious regarding the reaction between lithium perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylate (Li-PTCA) and Sodium Hyroxide (NaOH) together with Carbon Dioxide (CO2). Is it possible for explosion to happen between this reaction?

So its the lithium salt of the carboxylic acid?


I think a big ol' nothing would happen.

Yes.. Its lithium salt in carboxylic acid.. Pheww.. good to hear that.. Thank you so much for your reply Wildfyr.. Actually, Im in progress doing my final year project for my degree specifically in hydrothermal method.. and I have tons of questions to ask... Sorry may I ask another one more question, is it dangerous to put volatile solution in an autoclave? I worry if the pressure inside the autoclave would be to high and... ya another explosion?

[wildfyr]

Well don't put a whole bunch in there, but I have put a few tens of mL of an ethyl acetate solution in an autoclave and nothing bad happened.
