The crystal structure of Cu(NIT2Py)2(N3)2 (NIT2Py = 2-(2′-pyridyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide) was determined by the X-ray diffraction method. This compound crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 9.2293(18), b = 10.579(2), c = 14.965(3)Å, β = 100.31(3)°, V = 1437.5(5)Å3, Z = 2. The final R value is 0.0587 for 2204 reflections (I > 2σ(I)). The complex is centrosymmetric, and the copper(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment: two nitrogen atoms from the NIT2Py, two nitrogen atoms from the azide groups in the basal plane and two oxygen atoms from the NIT2Py in the axial position.
