Diethylmagnesium glows and ignites in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide (The Merck Index, Rahway (NJ), Merck and Co. Inc., 10th ed., 1983, 453).
Dimethylberyllium ignites in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide (Coates, G. E., Green, M. L. H., Wade, K. 1967. Organometallic Compounds. London: Methuen. Vol. 1, p. 106).
Diphenylmagnesium ignites in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide (Leleu, J., Cahiers de Notes Documentaires, 1977, (88), 368).
Lithium and sodium hydride react vigorously with CO2 to form their respective formate salts. Lithium hydride requires heating to react, while sodium hydride only requires mild conditions (Sullivan, E. and Wade, R. 1980. Hydrides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
Lithium hydride reacts vigorously with N2 when heated (Sullivan, E. and Wade, R. 1980. Hydrides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
