Some dienes, such as isoprene and butadiene, polymerize at room temperature on contact with high-surface-area sodium, such as a powder or a thin layer (Pascal, P. 1966. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 2, Part 1, p. 224. Masson et Cie.). Polymerization reactions can generate heat, and may cause a dangerous rise in pressure if the reaction occurs in a closed container.
