Organometallics can abstract acidic hydrogen atoms from water (Carey, Francis. "Organic Chemistry", 5th Edition, Ch. 14. Accessed at: http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey5th/Ch14/ch14-1.html#Reactivity).
Hexamethylrhenium is an extremely water-sensitive explosive compound (Edwards, P. G. et al., J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans., 1980, 2474).
Dicarbonylmolybdenum diazide and dicarbonyltungsten diazide are extremely water-sensitive explosive compounds (Dehnicke, K., Angew. Chem. (Intern. Ed.), 1979, 18, 513).
BIS(CYCLOPENTADIENYL)CHROMIUM is very sensitive to exposure to air and moisture (decomposition is not vigorous). It decomposes in water [NTP, 1992].
BIS(CYCLOPENTADIENYL)VANADIUM DICHLORID is extremely sensitive to exposure to air and also extremely sensitive to moisture; decomposes in water [NTP, 1992].
ZIRCONOCENE DICHLORIDE is extremely unstable when exposed to air and decomposes in water [NTP, 1992].
