Nickel tetracarbonyl reacts explosively with bromine in the liquid phase (Blanchard, A.A. et al. 1926. Journal of the American Chemical Society 48:872).
Nickel carbonyl reacts with halogens to liberate toxic and flammable C=O gas (Atonsen, D.H., D.T. Meshri. 2005. Nickel Compounds. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
Nickel tetracarbonyl reacts violently with N2O4 (Bailar, J. C., Emeleus, H. J., Nyholm, R. S., Trotman-Dickenson, A. F., (Eds.). 1973. Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry. Oxford, Pergamon. Vol. 3, 1130).
Diisopentylmercury and dipropylmercury react violently with iodine (Whitmore, F. C., 1921, Organic Compounds of Mercury, New York, Chemical Catalog Co. Inc., p. 100).
Tetramethyltin explodes violently with N2O4 at -80C (Bailar, J. C., Emeleus, H. J., Nyholm, R. S., Trotman-Dickenson, A. F., (Eds.). 1973. Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry. Oxford, Pergamon. Vol. 2, 355).
Diphenylmercury reacts violently with chlorine monoxide and very violently with sulfur trioxide (Dreher, D. et al., Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie, 1870, 154, 127; Otto, R., J. Prakt. Chem. [2], 1870, 1, 183).
