Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and reactive nature, this compound must be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and reducing agents. For long-term stability, storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a dedicated, temperature-controlled environment (recommended 2-8°C) is advised.
