Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts with strong acids and organic solvents; therefore, it must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and away from incompatible materials. Handle and store only in glass or suitably resistant containers.
