Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) when not in use to maintain stability and purity.
