title: Dimethano-lbis[N'-(3-pyridylmethyl-ene)benzohydrazide]sodium(I) iodide.
abstract: The molecule of the title compound, [Na(C(13)H(11)N(3)O)(2)(CH(3)OH)(2)]I, is non-planar, with the Na atom chelated by the O atoms and the N atoms of two N'-(3-pyridylmethyl-ene)benzohydrazide ligands and both O atoms of two methanol ligands. The asymmetric unit consists of one half-mol-ecule. The Na atom is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. The six-coordinate Na atom adopts a distorted octa-hedral coordination. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯I and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a two-dimensional network.
