Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when possible to prevent oxidation and moisture uptake. Keep the container tightly sealed in a desiccator for long-term storage.
