Abstract: In the title compound, [ZnI₂(C₁₃H₁₉N₃O)], the Zn^II ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the basal plane is defined by three N atoms from the Schiff base ligand and one iodide ion. A second iodide ligand, situated in the apical position, completes the coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, C-HO hydrogen bonds link a pair of molecules around an inversion centre into a dimer.
