An aqueous solution (15 ml) of copper(II) nitrate trihydrate (4.0 mmol, 0.97 g) was slowly added to an aqueous solution (50 ml) containing histamine dihydrochloride (4.0 mmol, 0.74 g), sodium oxalate (2.0 mmol, 0.27 g), sodium azide (4.0 mmol, 0.26 g), and sodium hydroxide (8.0 mmol, 0.32 g). The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and allowed to stand in air. Green platelet crystals were collected after a few days and washed with deionized water and dried in air.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93/1.00 Å) and allowed to ride with Uiso(H)= 1.2/1.5Ueq(C). Methyl H atoms were allowed to rotate around the corresponding C—C.
The N2—N3 and N5—N6 moieties were refined a disordered and each refined in two parts against N2'-N3' and N5'-N6'. A partial water molecule alternates with the N5'-N6' moiety in occupying the same space. The two N9 protons were obtained from a difference Fourier map but did not refine properly thus they were refined in idealized positions and were riding on their parent atom. The N9 proton is refined freely. All disordered parts have properly refined occupancy factors.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

The title compound is a polynuclear coordination complex involving mixed bridging ligands, both oxalate (Coronado et al. 2003; Pardo et al. 2010; Sun et al., 1997) and azide (Ribas, et al. 1999) anions. The tetrameric unit in the title compound is centrosymmetric (Fig.1), so pairs of equivalent ligands lie trans to each other. Two of the four azide ions within each tetramer are in end-on bridging mode, while the other two are non-bridging but form long N4A–Cu[1-x, 2-y, 1-z] (two-dimensional) bonds of 2.486 (3) Å with CuII ions on neighbouring tetramers and therefore link tetramers along the crystallographic b axis to produce one-dimensional chains (Fig.2). The distance between the two CuII ions linked by this long Cu—N bond is 3.2261 (8) Å.
