Except where noted otherwise, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C, 100 kPa)Infobox references Copper(II) bromide (CuBr2) is a chemical compound. It is used in photographic processing as an intensifier and as a brominating agent in organic synthesis.[2]
It is also used in the Copper vapor laser, a class of laser where the medium is copper bromide vapour formed in situ from hydrogen bromide in reaction with the enclosing copper discharge tube.[3] Producing yellow or green light, it is used in dermatological applications.
Safety
Copper(II) bromide is harmful if swallowed. It affects the central nervous system, brain, eyes, liver, and kidneys. It causes irritation to skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
