cupric
Of copper chemistry
Cupric is a chemistry term meaning containing or relating to copper, specifically copper in its +2 oxidation state: cupric sulfate, cupric chloride.
The word appears almost exclusively in scientific and technical contexts.
Compare cuprous, which refers to copper in its +1 oxidation state.
