Naphthalene explodes on contact with N2O5 (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 8, p. 554. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Benzene can explode weakly on contact with nitryl perchlorate (Spinks, J.W.T. 1960. Chemical and Engineering News 38(15):5.).
Benzene reacts exothermically and may ignite or explode on contact with BrF5 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
