Hazard Predictions

A mixture of phthalic anhydride and anhydrous copper (II) oxide exploded violently on heating (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. Vol. 1, pp. 1398).

Maleic anhydride decomposes exothermically in the presence of alkali- or alkaline earth- metal ions at temperatures above 150 C, evolving carbon dioxide (Volger, C. E. at al., J. Chem. Eng. Data, 1963, 8, 620).
