Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [ZnI₂(C₁₄H₁₄N₂)], the Zn atom is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral 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 - interaction between benzene rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.975 (4) Å.
