Summary
- Explosive: Reaction products may be explosive or sensitive to shock or friction
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Unstable when heated: Reaction products may be unstable above ambient temperatures
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic

Diazonium triiodides, formed from diazonium salts and iodides, are unstable and often explosive as solids. Monoiodides of diazotised aniline and o-toluidine have been isolated, but similar products from diazotised o-, m-, or p-nitroanilines, m-chloro-, m-methoxy-, or m-methyl-aniline decompose below 0 deg C (Carey, J. G. et al., Chem. and Ind., 1960, 7; Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Ed. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. Vol. 2, p. 97).
