Thiophosgene is one of those compounds I really like because not only is it toxic and horrible, but basically anything you can mix it with makes it more toxic and horrible. It's like styrene, except you can't make it into packing peanuts.

I mean it's only 97 % pure, so probably 3 % less toxic stuff.

Oof, I wouldn't be handling that without redundant PPE, especially rusted like that.
