Well, francium is so rare that it hasn't really been procured in large amounts. From what I've read, it has a half-life of 22 minutes and theere is only about 2.2 grams on the planet. It is also the god of all alkali metals. Translation: if you got some of this stuff, you would not only get radiation poisoning but when it touches water or god forbid, acid, please leave a memo telling me how earth looks from the moon.
Rubidium (Rb) can react with many things such as hydrogen because rubidium has one spare electron 2, 8, 18, 8, 1 and hydrogen has only one outer electron so hydrogen in water will reactvigorously with rubidium as hydrogen is desperate to gain one electron and rubidium is desperate to lose one electron and when these bond they form an ion.

Rubidium hypobromite is RbOBr and contains Rb+ OBr-. I dot know how it is prepared but possibly reacting RbOH with alkali bromine water may work and at least be safe: 2RbOH(aq) + Br2 = RbOBr +RbBr +H2O Adding Rb to water would cause a fire but would produce RbOH. Bromine could then be bubbled through 2Rb +2H2O -> 2RbOH + H2
