Hazard Predictions

No direct evidence was found for an adverse reaction between these reactive groups. However, fluoride salts are weakly basic and acetylene is weakly acidic, so there is a chance that a reaction could occur which would form explosive metal acetylide salts. Such a reaction is known to occur when acetylene comes into contact with alkaline solutions of copper (II) salts, silver salts, or mercury salts (Bretherick, L. 1996. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards. Vol. 2, p 191-192. Fifth Ed. Urben, P.G., Ed. Butterworth-Heinemann, Boston, MA). Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
