In order for anything to be organic it must contain carbon (C). Your compound contains copper (Cu) and Chlorine (Cl). Therefore it is not organic.

No, PCl3 (phosphorus trichloride) is an inorganic compound. Organic compounds are those that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, which PCl3 does not have.

PCl3 or phosphorus trichloride is inorganic and not organic.

Note: The 'C' is from 'Cl' (chlorine) and not carbon.
