Hazard Predictions

Reaction of simple hydrides with AlCl3 forms a powerfully reducing complex of aluminum hydrides (e.g., LiAlH4) (Eggeman, T. 2001. Hydrides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online); Pascal, P. 1966. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 2, Part 1, p. 49. Masson et Cie.).

Reaction of vanadium trichloride and similar halides with Grignard reagents is almost explosively violent under a variety of conditions (Cotton, F. A., Chem. Rev., 1955, 55, 560).

Acetylenebis(triethyltin) reacts explosively with stannic chloride (SnCl4) (Beerman, C. et al., Z. Anorg. Chem., 1954, 276, 20).

Hydrides react spontaneously and irreversibly with proton donors such as acids to form flammable H2 gas. Acidic salts can generate protons in some situations, especially on contact with water or moisture in the air. In this situation, hydrogen gas could be produced (Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online); Eggeman, T. 2001. Hydrides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology.
