Synopsis: ZnI₂(dmf)₂, zinc diiodide bis(dimethylformamide), shows a reversible non-disruptive phase change at 228 K. The space group changes from C2/c to P2₁/n, with two new conformationally different molecules arising at low temperature from rotation of one of the dmf ligands through angles of either +25 or -43°. Application of differential scanning calorimetry gives H = 1.44 kJ mol^-1.
