What is cubr?

Cupric bromide, also known as CuBr, is a chemical compound composed of copper and bromine. It is a reddish-brown solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Cupric bromide is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and other fine chemicals. It is also used in the manufacturing of photographic emulsions and as a reagent in various chemical processes. Cupric bromide is considered toxic and should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact.
