Aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, and other metals ignite violently on contact with ClF3 (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1237).
Many metals, including aluminum (J. W. Mellor, 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, pp. 113-114. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.), cobalt (J. W. Mellor, 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 1, pp. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.), titanium (J. W. Mellor, 1967. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 1, pp. 165-167. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.), barium, chromium, iron, nickel, and zinc ignite on contact with BrF5 (N. V. Sidgwick, 1950, The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Oxford, Oxford University Press, pp. 1158).
Titanium incandesces on contact with BrF3 (J. W. Mellor, 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, pp. 113. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; J. W. Mellor, 1967. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supplement 1, pp. 164. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Aluminum ignites on contact with Cl2 at ambient temperatures, and reacts vigorously with bromine (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, pp. 92, 135. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 209. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.). It can ignite on contact with iodine if water is present (Jackson, H. 1969. Spectrum 7:82; Azmathulla, S. et al. 1955. Journal of Chemical Education 32:447; 1956. School Science Review 38(134):107; A. D. Kirshenbaum, 1956, Final Report on Fundamental Studies of New Explosive Reactions, Philadelphia, Research Institute of Temple University, pp. 4, 13).
Calcium (J. W. Mellor, 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 3, pp. 638. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.) and magnesium (J. W. Mellor, 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 4, pp. 267. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.) ignite on contact with fluorine or chlorine at ambient temperatures, and magnesium can ignite on contact with iodine if water is present (Jackson, H. 1969. Spectrum 7:82).
Iron ignites in chlorine at ambient temperatures (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1303; Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 915).
Titanium can ignite on contact with dry chlorine (Hanson, B.H. 1975. Process Engineering (2):77).
Zinc can incandesce in fluorine, and ignites in chlorine or iodine if moisture is present (J. W. Mellor, 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 4, pp. 476. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; Jackson, H. 1969. Spectrum 7:82).
Zinc ignites on contact with seleninyl bromide (J. W. Mellor, 1947. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 10, pp. 912. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Br2S2 reacts violently with aluminum powder (Pascal, P. 1960. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 13, Part 2, p. 1162. Masson et Cie.).
