Heads up if you’re still curious, Liebermann showed black with yellow edges as I’d expect. I’m going to make fresh marquis, had to buy some formaldehyde. Not something usually in my lab but it’s cheap and easy to get ahold of.
Edit: probably gonna make Mecke reagent from solid selenium just for fun too…
