| General description: | Bromoform (CHBr3), also known as Tribromomethane, is a very short-lived substance (VSLS) and an important precursor of reactive bromine species (BrOx). It is widely used as a laboratory reagent and as an industrial extraction solvent. It can also be used as a sedative and to create block copolymers. |
