  • The copper atom is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms from the (-)-alpha-isosparteine ligand and two nitrogen atoms from terminal azide anions.
  • The dihedral angle between the sparteine and azide coordination planes is 50.0 (2) degrees.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study provides a detailed structural description of the copper(II) complex.
    • The distorted tetrahedral geometry and terminal azide coordination are key structural features.
