The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction methods at 98 K. Zinc azide · 2‐methyl pyridine crystallizes in the space group P 1 with a = 6.028(2) Å, b = 7.610(3) Å, c = 10.052(4) Å, α = 92.81(3)°, β = 101.08(2)·, γ = 94.64(3)° and Z = 2. Least‐squares refinement gave an R value of R w = 0.039 for 2096 observed reflections. Each zinc atom is surrounded by four nitrogen atoms of different azide groups and one nitrogen atom of the pyridine adduct in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal fashion. The ZnN 5 ‐polyhedra share common edges to form chains along the crystallographic a ‐axis.
