Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C. This compound is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; exposure to air, moisture, or light may degrade catalytic performance. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
