2N1,S}copper(II))In the title compound, [Cu2(C13H11N4S)2(N3)2], the CuII cation is N,N',S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base ligand and is coordinated by the azide anion, while an N atom from an adjacent azide anion bridges the CuII cation at the apical position with a longer Cu-N distance of 2.533 (3) Å, completing the distorted N4S square-pyramidal coordination geometry. A pair of azide anions bridge the two CuII cations, forming a centrosymmetric binuclear molecule. In the crystal, the binuclear molecules are linked by an N-H
N hydrogen bond into a ribbon running along the a axis.
The Schiff base ligand by heating 2-benzoylpyridine (0.183 g,1 mmol) and thiosemicarbazide (0.091 g,1 mmol) for 3 h. Copper acetate hydrate (0.199 g,1 mmol) and sodium azide (0.065 g,1 mmol) was added and the solution heated for another 2 h. Dark green colored crystals were obtained from the cool solution.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2U(C).
The amino H-atoms were located in a difference Fouier and were refined with a distance restraint of N–H 0.88±0.01 Å; their temperature factors tied by a factor of 1.2 times.
Omitted owing interference from the beam stop was (1 0 0).

2-Benzoylpyridine thiosemicarbazone (Casas et al., 2003) is a Schiff base that is capable of N,N',S-chelation to metal ions. The CuII atom in [Cu(N3)(C13H11N4S)]2 (Scheme I) is N,N',S-chelated by the deprotonated Schiff base, and it exists in a square pyramidal environment (Fig. 1). Two molecules are disposed about a center-of-inversion and the distance between the copper atom and their apical nitrogen atom of the other azide is 2.533 (3) Å. Adjacent inversion-related pairs of molecules are linked by an N–H···N hydrogen bond to form a ribbon running along the a-axis (Table 1).
