Quality Control

Our Bis(Cyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dihydride is manufactured and handled under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR spectroscopy and titrimetric methods, to confirm identity, purity, and hydride content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and air-sensitive nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C. The container should be kept tightly sealed and only opened in a controlled, moisture-free environment.
