Abstract: In the structure of the title complex, [Cu(N₃)₂(C₁₄H₁₅N₃O₂)]·H₂O, the Cu atom exhibits a CuN₅O coordination environment formed by five N atoms, three from the N,N-bis(2-pyridymethyl)glycine (bpg) ligand and two from azide anions, and one O atom belonging to bpg. The Cu-N distances range from 1.931 (3) to 1.960 (3) Å, with an average of 1.945 (3) Å, and the Cu-O distance is 1.900 (2) Å. The azide ligands are almost linear, with both N-N-N angles being 174.7 (4)°.
