    Chlorine and ammonia should not be mixed as toxic gas results.

    Nitric acid and glycerin.
    Anhydrous ammonia and crystal iodine. (Unless you know what you are doing.)

    Why are you asking this now when you already have a bottle of bleach and a bottle of rubbing alcohol on your work table?

      Because I will need to be able to claim plausible deniability if investigated or if required to defend myself at trial . . . hey, wait a second, this is still off the record, correct? I know I can trust you to keep your promise to me, I just ask as an over the top self-protective precaution.

    Acids and Calcium Hypochlorite (bleach). (Evolves chlorine - hence the warnings on domestic bleach and descaling compounds.)

    Nitric acid and glycerine. (Extremely unstable explosive)

    Oxygen and mineral oils / greases. (Liable to spontaneous, fierce combustion)

    Acetylene and wet copper. (Explosive, Copper Acetyldehyde.)

    Acids and gold-plating solution (Evolves Hydrogen Cyanide gas..... as I once found by accident when working in a small plating works!)
