Crystal Structure of [2,6-Bis(3,5-dimethyl-N-pyrazolyl)pyridine]- (azido)(chloro)copper(II)

In the title compound, the coordination around the Cu atom is a distorted square-pyramid involving three N atoms from the ligand and one N atom from the azido group at the basal plane. The Cl atom is located at the apical position. The Cu atom is 0.32(5)Å above the basal plane. There are three intramolecular and four weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the structure. IR spectra confirm the asymmetric N3 stretching vibrations of the terminal azide group.
