Explodes on mixing with carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons (e.g., butadiene, ethane, ethylene, methane, propane), fluoramines (e.g. difluoramine, trifluoramine). Mixtures with hydrogen explode with sparking or contact with platinum. Explodes on contact with mercury, potassium hydroxide, phosphorous pentachloride + chlorine. Ignites or explodes on contact with non-metals (e.g., phosphorous, sulfur, sugar). Reacts violently with /fluorine/, NHF2. Reacts with water or steam to produce toxic and corrosive fumes of /hydrochloric acid/.
