Precautions

  1. Prolonged exposure to light should be avoided, as light can induce the dissociation of carbonyl ligands, affecting the product's structure and purity.

  2. The moisture and oxygen in the air can cause the metal center to oxidize slowly; therefore, it should be stored in a sealed container to prevent air and moisture from entering.

  3. High temperatures may cause CO ligands to desorb, posing a safety hazard, so extra caution is needed.

  4. It is recommended to wear gloves and safety glasses during operation, and to perform the procedure in a fume hood or under an inert atmosphere.

  5. Waste liquids and residues must be disposed of properly in accordance with regulations concerning organometallic compounds; indiscriminate dumping is prohibited.
