Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized nature, this reagent must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. For long-term stability, storage at 2-8°C is recommended. Always handle and transfer the material under an inert atmosphere using standard Schlenk or glovebox techniques to maintain purity and reactivity.
