Hazard Predictions

Methane will ignite or explode on contact with BrF5 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Methane or ethane will explode on contact with dioxygenyl tetrafluoroborate at low temperatures (Goetschel, C.T. et al. 1969. Journal of the American Chemical Society 91:4706.).

Hydrocarbons explode on contact with ClF3 at or below ambient temperatures (Brower, K.R. 1986. Journal of Fluorine Chemistry 31:333-349.).

Hydrocarbons ignite or explode on contact with fluorine, even at cryogenic temperatures (Mellor, J.W. 1940. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 11. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 198; The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, pp. 1117).

Low molecular weight hydrocarbons will ignite on contact with IF7 (Booth, H.S. et al. 1947. Chemical Reviews 41:428.).

Methane reacts with halogens in diffuse sunlight to yield toxic halocarbons and HX gases (Rodd, E. H, Ed. Chemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: Elsevier Publishing Company, 1951. Vol. I pp. 246).
