Aluminum and its alloys should not be used in contact with mercury or mercury compounds (Sanders, R. E. 2002. Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online); Woelfel, W. C., 1967, J. Chem. Ed., 44, p. 484).
Powdered aluminum reacts violently on heating with arsenic (Matignon, C., Compt. rend., 1900, 130, p. 1393).
The mixture of barium and aluminum powders is pyrophoric (J. W. Mellor, 1947. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 9, pp. 626. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Magnesium can react explosively with tellurium (Hutton, K. 1950. School Science Review 31(114):265).
Selenium reacts with incandescence upon heating with a number of metals, including uranium, platinum, cadmium, and tin (J. W. Mellor, 1942. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 12, pp. 31. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; J. W. Mellor, 1942. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 16, pp. 158. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; Bailar, J.C., Emeleus, H. J., Nyholm, R. S., Trotman-Dickenson, A. F., Eds. Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry, 1973, Vol. 2, p. 79).
