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. Containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and bases.
