Cuprous chloride (also known as copper(I) chloride or CuCl) is an inorganic compound, appearing as a white to pale-green crystalline solid. It is a versatile compound crucial in industrial chemistry, primarily functioning as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions, including the Sandmeyer reaction, Gattermann-Koch reaction, and the polymerization of vinyl monomers. While it is technically insoluble in water, it forms soluble complexes in hydrochloric acid and ammonia solutions.
Appearance White cubical crystals that turn green when exposed to air due to oxidation forming copper(II) chloride (CuCl2).Properties: It has a cubic zincblende structure at ambient conditions, a melting point of , and a density of
.Copper(I) chloride has the cubic zincblende crystal structure at ambient conditions. Upon heating to 408 °C the structure changes to hexagonal. Several other crystalline forms of CuCl .
