Magnesium can react explosively with sulfur or tellurium (Hutton, K. 1950. School Science Review 31(114):265).
Calcium forms explosive mixtures with sulfur (J. W. Mellor, 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 3, pp. 639. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Aluminum reacts violently with P, S, or Se, and forms shock-sensitive mixtures with red phosphorus (Matignon. 1900. Compt. Rend. 130:1393-1394).
Aluminum reacts incandescently with PCl3 (Matignon. 1900. Compt. Rend. 130:1393-1394; Berger, E. 1920. Compt. Rend. 170:2-9).
Nickel reacts incandescently with sulfur or selenium if heated (J. W. Mellor, 1942. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 15, pp. 148, 151. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Reaction of titanium and carbon black may pose a fire hazard (Afanas'eva, L.F. et al. 1981. Chemical Abstracts 95, 64482).
Powdered aluminum ignites on contact with arsenic trichloride or antimony trichloride vapor (Matignon, C. 1900. Compt. Rend. 130, p. 1393).
