Hazard Predictions
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Inorganic cyanides are mild reducing agents and may undergo potentially hazardous oxidation-reduction reactions when mixed with organic nitro or nitroso compounds, which are oxidizers. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
