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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with water, strong bases, and alcohols. Containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture and to maintain purity.
