Bis{μ-2-[1-(2-Pyridylmethyl­imino)eth­yl]phenolato}bis­[azido­copper(II)]

The title compound, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(13)N(2)O)(2)(N(3))(2)], was synthesized by the reaction of Cu(NO(3))(2)·3H(2)O with the Schiff base 2-[1-(2-pyridylmethyl­imino)eth­yl]phenol (HL) in methanol–water solution, adding NaN(3) as the bridging ligand. The asymmetric unit contains one half-mol­ecule, the other half being generated by the inversion center. Each Cu(II) atom shows a slightly distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry formed by two N atoms and one O atom from one Schiff base ligand, by another O atom of a second Schiff base ligand and by an azide N atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
