Hazard Predictions
- Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
The combination of weak acids, such as phenol, with nitrides, phosphides, carbides, and silicides will generate flammable and toxic products, including the gases ammonia, phosphine, methane, and silane. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
The nitrides of group 1 and 2 metals and aluminum react with hydrogen ions to form ammonia (Ettmayer, P. and Lengauer, W. 2000. Nitrides. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
