Description

Cupric cyanide represents an amorphous yellow powder insoluble in water. It is used in organic synthesis as the catalyst. Acute copper poisoning after ingestion can cause liver injury, methemoglobinemia, and hemolytic anemia. Acute renal failure may result, secondary to massive hemoglobinuria.
