Aluminum phosphide (AlP) evolves toxic and flammable phosphine gas on contact with base (Wang. C.C. et al. 1963. Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry 25:327.).
Silane reacts with aqueous NaOH to produce flammable H2 gas (Durrant, P.J., B. Durrant. 2002. Introduction to Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. John Wiley & Sons. pp. 643.).
