Hydrocarbon gases, reactions with silicon

TRIISOBUTYLALUMINUM (100-99-2) Extremely flammable liquid (flash point <39°F/<4°C). Pyrophoric ignites spontaneously on contact with air. Reacts with water. A strong reducing agent. Violent reaction with oxidizers. Reacts with acids, carbon dioxide, alcohols, amines, ammonia, halogens, halogenated hydrocarbons. Attacks silicone and urethane rubbers. Store under inert gas blanket. Reacts with most common fire extinguishers ... 

Nonflammable gas. Chlorine pentafluoride is a highly reactive substance. It reacts explosively with water. Paper, cloth, wood, and other organic matter would burst into flames upon contact with the liquid or vapor of chlorine pentafluoride. Vigorous to violent reaction occurs with metals. Reactions with oxides, sulfides, halides, and carbides of metals are violent. It forms explosive mixtures with hydrogen, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon gases, ammonia, phosphine, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. It reacts violently with sulfur, phosphorus, silicon compounds, charcoal, and mineral acids. 

A somewhat similar process makes use of the gas-phase reaction of aliphatic hydrocarbons with a silicon halide14 at a high temperature. Thus a mixture of silicon tetrachloride and an aliphatic hydrocarbon may be heated to a temperature above 450° (but below the temperature of thermal decomposition of the hydrocarbon) to produce organosilicon halides.
