Mercury and nickel tetracarbonyl form mixtures that are explosive in air (J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 955. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Cesium pentacarbonylvanadate (Cs3[V(CO)5]) ignites when scratched with a metal spatula, even under a nitrogen atmosphere (Ellis, J. F. et al., J. Amer. Chem. Soc., 1981, 103, 6101).
Iron carbonyl (nonacarbonyldiiron) has an autoignition temperature of 93 C when in contact with brass (Quarterly Safety Summaries, London, Association of British Chemical Manufacturers, 1943, vol. 14, p. 18).
