Bretherick's Reactive Chemical Hazards Database - Version 2. 0

This reference work on reactive chemical hazards attempts to include every chemical for which documented information on reactive hazards has been found.

The full list covers over 5000 elements or compounds and as many again of secondary entries involving two or more compounds.

It extensive cross-referencing throughout both sections which link similar compounds or incidents not obviously related.

Section 1 is devoted to specific information on the stability of the listed compounds, or the reactivity of mixtures of two or more of them under various circumstances.

Each compound is identified by an IUPAC-based name, the CAS registry number, its empirical formula and its structure.

Each description of an incident or violent reaction gives reference to the original literature.

Each chemical is classified on the basis of similarities in structure or reactivity, and these groups are listed in Section 2.
