We just used this today using dry syringe technique and nitrogen.  Ever the optimists, we would like to store it for future use.  We plan to put it into a small desiccator.  Is there any advantage in storing at 4° C?  Is -20 °C better?

I think I used it as a DCM-solution, this was an old bottle but worked fine so maybe its not so critical. It was stored in freezer.
Does it say anything on the bottle about storage temp?
What I see itshould be 2-8°C

Get the canister version and it will remain good for several years if handled properly!!

transfer it to a schlenk flask or youngs flask, much better for long-term storage of sensitive reagents. sure seal bottles have a limited number of punctures before they can no longer maintain a gas tight seal
