Hazard Predictions
- Potentially hazardous: May be hazardous but unknown
No specific evidence was found for a hazardous interaction between quaternary ammonium or phosphonium ions (i.e. those with four carbon groups on the nitrogen or phosphorus) and alkali metals. However, alkali metals are extremely reactive, so 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.
