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 may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
