Acetaldehyde reacts with copper, silver, and alloys containing copper, silver, or mercury, and should not be stored in unlined vessels composed of these metals (Fleischmann, G., R. Jira. 2002. Acetaldehyde. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
Formaldehyde reacts with copper and copper-containing alloys, and should not be stored in unlined containers made of copper (Reuss, G., W. Disteldorf, A.O. Gamer, and A. Hilt. 2002. Formaldehyde. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
