Household chemistry ideas for 7-Hydroxycoumarinyl-4-acetic acid?
Post Body

So, a while back, I made a couple of these things I dubbed "Cherenkov Lamps", in which I used this fascinating chemical I heard about.

Funny story, I have 7g of this stuff that I got on eBay for 14$ shipped from somewhere in Russia. When in aqueous solution and exposed to UV light, it gives off this incredible blue glow similar to Cherenkov radiation, hence the name for the lamp. It also takes a hilariously tiny amount of the compound to produce a very brilliant glow in a large quantity of water.

Aside from making pretty lamps, are there any other interesting uses I can put it to, being as I apparently have a huge amount?
