Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. The container should be kept sealed and only opened in a controlled, moisture-free environment such as a glovebox to prevent degradation.
