Quality Control

Our Cyclopentadienyldicarbonyl(Tetrahydrofuran)Iron(II) Tetrafluoroborate is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize decomposition and oxidation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area separate from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, handle and open containers in a controlled, dry environment.
