Hazard Predictions
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
Bases react violently with chlorosilanes, generating heat and potentially generating hydrogen with hydrogen-containing chlorosilanes (Centre Européen des Silicones (CES), Safe Handling of Chlorosilanes, Chapter VIII, pg. 15. Found at http://www.silicones-safety.eu/files/Chlorosilanes Manual 22082003.pdf). Cyanide ion is a base, so it may react in this way, potentially generating heat and gases.
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. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
