Diazido- (S)-1-phenyl-N,N-bis- (2-pyrid-yl)meth-yl ethanamine -copper(II).

In the title compound, [Cu(N(3))(2)(C(20)H(21)N(3))], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by the three N atoms of the (S)-1-phenyl-N,N-bis-[(2-pyrid-yl)meth-yl]ethanamine ligand and two N atoms from two azide anions, resulting in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. A weak inter-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-action between one pyridine group of the ligand and an azide N atom of an adjacent complex unit gives a one-dimensional chain structure parallel to the c axis.
