Dichlorosilane may ignite on contact with nitrate or nitrite salts under basic conditions (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1314.; Britton, L. G. (1990). Plant/Oper. Progr., 9 (1), 16).
When heated, the vapours of the higher chlorosilanes (hexachlorodisilane to dodecachloropentasilane) ignite in air. Other halo- and haloalkyl-silanes ignite without heating or have low flash points (Schumb, W. C. et al., Inorg. Synth., 1939, 1, 46).
Vinyl trichlorosilane is incompatible with nitrogen oxides (Pohanish, Richard P. (2004). HazMat Data - For First Response, Transportation, Storage, and Security (2nd Edition). John Wiley & Sons.).
