Copper(II) chloride is the chemical compound with the chemical formula CuCl. This is a light brown solid, which slowly absorbs moisture to form a blue-green dihydrate. The copper(II) chlorides are some of the most common copper(II) compounds, after copper sulfate.
Copper forms two stable chlorides:
- Copper(I) chloride (cuprous chloride), CuCl, mineral name nantokite.
- Copper(II) chloride (cupric chloride), CuCl, mineral name eriochalcite.
