Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and bases. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture. Isolate from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers, bases, and water.
