Strychnine was an important and effective heart medicine even in the 20th century. When we cleaned out my late grandparents' old house, a box of my grandfather's strychnine pills from 1930s was found. If my memory is correct, each pill contained 1/30th of a grain of strychnine.

He kinda touches on that in the video. The old method essentially used to involve reacting samples of the chemical with different reagents and observing the result. You can determine whether a chemical contains certain molecular groups just by how it behaves during a reaction. Now, you just use spectroscopy. There are many different kinds, but you're able to find out loads of important information about a chemical in an afternoon, as long as you've got some fancy equipment and know what you're doing.

+Ben F First you determine the empirical formula by burning the compound and measuring the amount of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. This is easy. Then the detective work starts - you have to react your compound with different other reagents. Benzene rings are easy to detect, so then you work to isolate them and determine which groups are attached to them. And then you repeat it over and over again.

Today chemists use an arsenal of instruments. pNMR, cNMR, FTIR, and GC-MS, are very helpful tools, but perhaps the most powerful tool is X-Ray crystalography. By careful study of the diffraction pattern created when an x-ray beam passes through a crystal of purified analyte, you can determine any compound’s structure.

I am of the opinion that even these highly toxic compounds can be safely handled by PG students if safety and common sense are rigorously adhered to. I think the reluctance to allow UG and PG students to handle hazardous chemicals has more to do with a fear of being sued if something goes wrong in this day and age of liability culture. Paranoia plays a role, too: maybe there's a fear that someone with ill intent might sneak some of the strychnine out of the lab? (although people who are capable of such evils are in the minority). Personally, I would quite confidently handle strychnine, which is in solid form, and relatively easy to handle compared to a very toxic substance in gaseous form, such carbon monoxide or phosgene. You simply wear the appropriate safety gear (lab coat, eye shields and vinyl gloves) and you apply some thought. You use common sense. You plan ahead. For example, you make sure you don't generate a fine dust or aerosol of strychine that could potentially be inhaled. Only a complete imbecile and a Darwin Award candidate would attempt to taste a toxic compound, so for bottles of chemicals, whether they are intended for laboratory or household use, to have "do not eat" on their labels is intelligence-insulting to say the least! When I was doing my Final Year project at UG level, I needed to incorporate Ba and K as dopant species in an alumina matrix. One paper proposed the use of metallic Ba and K as a means of introducing the dopant species. Whilst my supervisor was happy for me to try this (and I was confident about safely handling small quantities of metallic alkali and alkaline earth metals), the Safety Officer wouldn't allow it!
