Hazard Predictions

Metal acetylides are formed when metal amides such as sodium amide (NaNH2) are mixed with acetylene (Pässler, P. et al. 2011. Acetylene. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)). Other strongly basic compounds may react similarly. Many metal acetylides are explosive, especially those containing heavy metals such as copper, mercury, silver, or gold. 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.
