Hazard Predictions

Methane will 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.).

Methane will explode on contact with F2O2, or F2O2/F2O4 mixtures, at cryogenic temperatures (Streng, A.G. 1963. Chemical Reviews 63:615.).

Methane or ethane will explode on contact with dioxygenyl tetrafluoroborate at low temperatures (Goetschel, C.T. et al. 1969. Journal of the American Chemical Society 91: 4706.).

Hydrocarbons explode on contact with ClF3 at or below ambient temperatures (Brower, K.R. 1986. Journal of Fluorine Chemistry 31:333-349.).

Hydrocarbons ignite or explode on contact with fluorine, even at cryogenic temperatures (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 11. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 198; The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, pp. 1117).

Low molecular weight hydrocarbons will ignite on contact with IF7 (Booth, H.S. et al. 1947. Chemical Reviews 41:428.).

Cycloalkanes can produce nitroperoxonitrates with N2O4 at low temperatures; these compounds are unstable at ambient temperatures (Lachowicz, D.R. et al. 1971. U.S. Patent 3621050.).

Inorganic oxidants may liberate flammable and toxic aldehyde and inert CO2 gas upon exposure to saturated aliphatic compounds (Predicted).

Vanadyl Perchlorate is a powerful oxidant which may explode above 80°C, and which ignites organic solvents on contact. (Schmeisser, M., Angew. Chem., 1955, 67, 499)
