Form Supplied in
: white solid, widely available.
Drying
: deliquescent; for most applications, drying at 150 °C for 3 h is sufficient; for higher purity, recrystallization from methanol, followed by drying at 140 °C/0.5 mmHg overnight, is recommended.
Handling, Storage, and Precautions
: of low toxicity; take directly from the oven when dryness is required.
