Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title molecule, [NiZnI₂(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(C₃H₇NO)₂], Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺ ions are bridged by the two phenolic O atoms of the N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediaminate (salpd^2-, C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂^2-) ligand. The Ni²⁺ ion has an irregular octahedral geometry involving two phenolic O and two iminic N atoms of the salpd^2- in the equatorial plane. The compound includes two DMF (dimethylformamide) solvent molecules coordinated to the Ni²⁺ ion at the apical position. The coordination around the Zn²⁺ ion is distorted tetrahedral, involving two bridging O atoms and two I atoms.
