{2-[(2,5-Dimethyl-phen-yl)imino-methyl]pyridine-κN,N'}diiodidozinc(II).

ABSTRACT: In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [ZnI(2)(C(14)H(14)N(2))], the Zn atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry by two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two I atoms. The benzene and pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 70.75 (3)°. The five-membered ring has an envelope conformation. There is a weak π-π inter-action between benzene rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.975 (4) Å.
