The reaction of lithium aluminum hydride (LiAlH4) with iodine (I2) generates flammable H2 gas and lithium tetraiodoaluminate (LiAlI4) (Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
Reaction of NaH and Cl2 or F2 at ambient temperature is incandescent (J. W. Mellor, 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, pp. 483. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Trimethylantimony reacts violently with halogens (Sidgwick, N. V., 1950, The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Oxford, Oxford University Press, p. 777).
Barium acetylide incandesces with halogens above 122C (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 862. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
