- Explosive: Reaction products may be explosive or sensitive to shock or friction
The presence of the endothermic triply-bonded acetylene (ethyne) group confers explosive instability on a wide range of acetylenic compounds (notably when halogens are also present) and derivatives of metals (and especially of heavy metals) (Davidsohn, W. E. et al., Chem. Rev., 1967, 67, 74).
