Does anyone have any citations for the low limiting oxygen concentration of pyrophoric compounds.  I am specifically looking for the oxygen percentage at which compounds such as t-BuLi become non-ignitable.  For example, that value is 5% for hydrogen.  I have found a reference for silane, but, as is typical for silane, there are a myriad of confounding issues.

 

I have searched both SciFinder and Science Direct and have not found helpful data.

 

Thanks

 

Neal
