Reaction between diazomethane and CaSO4 is exothermic and may accelerate to detonation (Gutsche, C.D. 1954. Organic Reactions 8:392).
Lead azide can explode when mixed with calcium stearate; Bretherick postulates that the reaction may involve stearic acid and formation of HN3 (MCA Case History 949, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association; Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1709).
NaN3 reacts violently with BaCO3 (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 3064).
Organic azides are sensitized by metal salts (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 321).
