Alex,
Storage compatibility guidance is provided in
Prudent Practices in the Laboratory, including lists of chemicals in each storage group on its accompanying CD. While no system is fully complete or referenced, this one seems to have fairly wide acceptance and a good track record.
See

I hope you find this helpful,

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Chemical storage guidance for bases
Our university’s current chemical storage guidance recommends segregating organic bases from inorganic bases. This has been called into question by one of our research faculty, so I am hoping to get some opinions on the practice from this
group. I have noted that certain institutions include similar guidance in their chemical storage guidelines while others do not. Does anyone know of particular organic bases that are reactive with inorganic bases? We see very few organic bases on our campus,
so this topic does not come up very often for us.
Any examples or feedback you can share with me are appreciated!
