I've done similar with a chemical that was "fatal on inhalation, fatal on skin contact, fatal on ingestion" i dont think its been opened and its sitting in the lab to this day.

I once ordered NaK, a sodium-potassium alloy that looks like mercury, but will catch fire if exposed to the air. It’s like potassium metal but worse because it’s liquid.

I bought some for a project in the lab, then just disposed of it. Wasn’t worth the risk and found an alternative.

Dicyclohexyl carbodiimine. I used the liquid diisopropyl carbodiimine for 2 years but i wasnt keen on using such a toxic powder
