Mercury combines readily with the halogens (DeVito, S. C. and Brooks, W. E. 2005. Mercury. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online); MCA Safety Data Sheet 49, Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Washington, 1968).
Chlorine, bromine, and iodine readily react with tin; with fluorine, the action is slow at room temperature (Gaver, C. C. and Updated by Staff 2005. Tin and Tin Alloys. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Iodine bromide reacts violently with tin (Pascal, P. 1963. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 8, Part 3, p. 308. Masson et Cie.).
Silver, copper, tin, and lead react violently and may ignite on contact with ClF3 (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1237).
Powdered copper will burn in chlorine (Mellor, J.W. 1967. Mellor's Modern Inorganic Chemistry, 6th Edition. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 649).
Tin reacts violently with disulfur dichloride (S2Cl2) (Pascal, P. 1963. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 8, Part 3, p. 309. Masson et Cie.).
