Hazard Predictions

Inorganic cyanide compounds, such as hydrogen cyanide, may be induced to polymerization by the reaction of radical-forming compounds such as halogens. This polymerization reaction is highly exothermic and accelerates once it starts (Gail, E., et al. 2011. Cyano Compounds, Inorganic. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)). 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.
