Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; containers must be kept tightly sealed and handled under inert conditions to maintain purity and reactivity.
