I don't get your requirement.
You'd like to copy empty directories from where to where? Is it a directory
tree or just leaves (TM, patented by me)?
(Leaves are at the same level,, below the branches, while trees contain

Wildly imagining..from a tree... or branches..
for d in `find /source/path/ -type d`; do mkdir -p /some/path/$d; done
(Untested).
