Hazard Predictions

Mercury combines readily with sulfur (DeVito, S. C. and Brooks, W. E. 2005. Mercury. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).

Mercury, iron, magnesium or copper will react exothermically with sulfur at ambient temperatures if in powdered form (Ephraim, F. 1939. Inorganic Chemistry. London, Gurney & Jackson, p. 519).

Many less reactive metals, including palladium, rhodium, and tin, ignite and incandesce if heated with sulfur (J. W. Mellor, 1942. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 15, pp. 149, 527, 627, 696. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; J. W. Mellor, 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 7, pp. 208, 328. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

The mixture of mercury and methylsilane is explosive in air (Stock, A. et al., Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft [Abteilung] B: Abhandlungen (1919), 52B, 695-724).
