No evidence was found for hazardous interactions between alkali metals and most metal hydrides, alkyls, or aryls. The only hazardous interaction for which evidence was found was:
Diborane forms flammable borohydrides on contact with lithium (Hazardous Chemical Data. 1975. NFPA 49, Boston, National Fire Protection Association, pp. 114).
