Calcium phosphide explodes on contact with Cl2O (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2. pp. 241-242; 1946. Volume 5. pp. 824).
Calcium carbide explodes violently if mixed with calcium hypochlorite and water (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1211).
CaC2 reacts explosively with perchloryl fluoride at elevated temperatures (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, London, Wiley-Interscience, 2nd Edition, 1966, Volume 9. pp. 602).
Metal carbides ignite in cold F2 (Mellor, J.W. 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 5. pp. 849, 885, 890-891).
Calcium carbide forms explosive salts with AgNO (Luchs, J.K. 1966. Photogr. Sci. Eng. 10:334).
Calcium carbide forms an explosive mixture with Na2O2 (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 2. pp. 490).
KNO3 forms impact-sensitive explosives with copper monophosphide (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 8, pp. 839, 845).
Calcium silicide poses a fire hazard when mixed with potassium nitrate (Berger, E. 1920. Compt. Rend. 170:1492).
Mixtures of KMnO4 and aluminum carbide can incandesce if warmed, posing a fire hazard (Mellor, J.W. 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 5. pp. 872).
NaNO2 and NaNH2 can explode violently if mixed, potentially evolving a gas (Bergstrom, F.W. et al. 1933. Chemical Reviews 12:64; Durrant, P.J., B. Durrant. 2002. Introduction to Advanced Inorganic Chemistry. John Wiley & Sons. pp. 714).
Sodium amide forms an explosive mixture with potassium chlorate (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 8, pp. 258).
Sodium amide reacts vigorously with N2O4, producing sparks, posing a fire hazard (Beck, G. 1937. Z. Anorg. Chem. 223:158).
Sodium amide can react violently with CrO3 (Mellor, J.W. 1943. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Volume 11. pp. 234).
