Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry place. This compound is light-sensitive and should be stored away from light. It is also easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consideration should be given to maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under argon or nitrogen). Keep container tightly sealed to protect from moisture.
