BrF3 ignites or explodes on contact with most organic compounds, including halogenated organics (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2. pp. 113; Mellor. 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167).
Fluorine reacts explosively with halocarbons, including carbon tetrachloride and chloroform (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 198).
CCl4 forms explosive mixtures with ClF3 at low temperatures (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 156).
