title: {(E)-2-[3-(Dimethyl-ammonio)propyl-iminometh-yl]phenolato}diiodidozinc(II).
abstract: The title complex, [ZnI(2)(C(12)H(18)N(2)O)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) compound derived from the zwitterionic form of the Schiff base (E)-2-[(3-dimethyl-amino-propyl-imino)meth-yl]phenol. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by two iodide ions in a tetra-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
