SF4 explodes on contact with F2O2, even at cryogenic temperatures (Streng, A.G. 1963. Chemical Reviews 63:615.).
Thionyl chloride explodes on contact with chloryl perchlorate (Schmeisser, M. 1955. Agnew. Chem. 67:499).
BrF3 ignites or explodes on contact with inorganic oxidants, including CrO3, IO5, MgO, Mo2O3, P4O10, W2O3, and SO2 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
PBr3 ignites on contact with chromyl chloride (Pascal, P. 1959. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 14, p. 153. Masson et Cie.).
ClF3 reacts violently or ignites on contact with many inorganic oxidants (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1237.).
ClF3 reacts incandescently with CrO3 (Mellor, J.W. 1943. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 1, p. 181. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
BrF3 incandesces with bromine or iodine (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 113. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167.).
BrF3 reacts violently with Sb2O3 or tin hypochlorite (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp.1, p. 166. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).
Mercuric oxide reacts with chlorine to form toxic and flammable chlorine dioxide (Masschelein, W. J. Chlorine Dioxide. Ann Arbor, MI: Ann Arbor Science Publishers Inc., 1979, pp. 9), as does sodium chlorate with chlorine (Ibid, pp. 10).
The reaction of ozone with chlorine dioxide liberates combustion-enhancing O2 gas (Masschelein, W. J. Chlorine Dioxide. Ann Arbor, MI: Ann Arbor Science Publishers Inc., 1979 pp. 11). A similar reaction occurs between hydrogen peroxide and chlorine dioxide (Ibid, pp. 13).
Fluorine reacts with chlorine dioxide to liberate toxic and flammable chloryl fluoride gas (Ibid, pp. 38). The reaction between potassium chlorate and fluorine is similar, liberating ClO3 gas which decomposes to ClO2 and O2 gases at 30C (Ibid, pp. 39).
