Just for some variation - instead of something blowing up at 100 Kelvin, how about stuff that smells so bad, they had to evacuate a city?
Heh... that's awesome. I work in a lab myself and I heared legends about some stuff you'd smell for ages just by opening the bottle under a fume hood no less. But this takes the cake.

Look up the MSDS? Google it? Go to a university library and look up its properties in some chemistry handbook?
