Nitrobenzene forms an explosive mixture with PCl5 (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2518.), which may violently decompose and produce toxic NOx gases (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 8, pp. 898).
Alkyl nitrates react violently with BF3 after an induction period, evolving a gas (Boschan, R. et al. 1960. Journal of Organic Chemistry 35, p. 2012).
Nitromethane can react violently with bromine (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Ed. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 112).
