Sodium reduces most metal fluorides except the fluorides of lithium, the alkaline earths, and some lanthanides. The reduced metal and sodium fluoride are produced in the reaction (Eggeman, T. and Updated by Staff 2007. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).
Mixtures of potassium metal and silver fluoride are shock-sensitive explosives (Bretherick, L. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 4th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. p. 1622).
