Hazard Predictions

Amines react with Ni, Pt, and Cr to slowly liberate flammable H2 gas (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 334).

At ordinary temperatures and in the absence of water, mercury does not react with ammonia. However, ammonia with traces of water can result in the formation of an (unspecified) explosive compound (DeVito, S. C. and Brooks, W. E. 2005. Mercury. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online); Thodos, G., Amer. Inst. Chem. Engrs. J., 1964, 10, 274).

When red-hot copper is exposed to ammonia or a volatile amine, the mild explosive copper nitride is formed (Mellor, J.W. 1923. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 3, p. 88. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
