Abstract A 1:2 complex of copper (II) azide with 4‐methylpyridine has been synthesized and the crystal structure has been determined by X‐ray methods. The compound crystallizes in space group P2 1 /a with a = 11,062(3), b = 19.310(6), c = 20.547(5) Å, β = 90.83(2)°, V = 4389(1) Å 3 , Z = 12 and R = 0.048 for 959 observed MoKα data. The structure is built up by oligomeric edge‐sharing chains of polyhedra. With the exception of a single coordinated azido group, all other azido ligands serve to bridge neighbouring copper centers [at Cu N bond distances of 1.94(2) to 2.76(2) Å] in the μ(1,1) fashion.
