Dicopper chloride trihydroxide is the compound with chemical formula Cu2(OH)3Cl. It is often referred to as tribasic copper chloride (TBCC), copper trihydroxyl chloride or copper hydroxychloride. This greenish substance is encountered as the minerals atacamite, paratacamite, and botallackite.[4] Similar materials are assigned to green solids formed upon corrosion of various copper objects.

These materials have been used in agriculture.[5]
