Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and reacts vigorously with water, alcohols, and strong bases. Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from moisture and ensure maximum shelf life.
