Hazard Predictions

Solid diazonium tetrachloro- and tetrafluoroborates have decomposed vigorously at elevated temperature (1. Olah., G. A. et al., J. Org. Chem., 1961, 26, 2053, 2. Doak, G. O. et al., Chem. Eng. News, 1967, 45(53), 8). The explosive decomposition, known as the Balz-Shiemann reaction, was further documented by Kurti (Kurti, L.; Czako, B.; Balz-Schiemann Reaction. In Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis; Elsevier, 2005; pp 34-35). The presence of nitro groups can enhance decomposition of these materials (Pavlath, A. E. et al., Aromatic Fluorine Compounds, 15, New York, Reinhold, 1962.) Various combustion gases may be generated with these materials.

Large volumes of gas are generated when making fluorobenzene from benzenediazonium fluoborate (Organic Syntheses, Coll. Vol. 2, p.295 (1943); Vol. 13, p.46 (1933)).
