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 There is a weak π–π interaction between benzene rings, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.975 (4) Å.

For the preparation of the title compound, (2,5-dimethyl-N-phenyl)(pyridine-2-yl)methanimine (21.0 mg, 0.1 mmol), and ZnI2 (31.9 mg, 0.1 mmol) were dissolved in acetonitrile (50 ml). The mixture was stirred for 10 min at room temperature. The resulting solution was left in air for a few days, giving yellow crystals of the title compound (yield; 79%). Calc.: C 31.75 H 2.67, N 5.29%, found: C 31.79, H 2.49, N 5.31%.
H atoms were positioned geometrically, with C—H = 0.93 and 0.96 Å for aromatic and methyl H, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Transition metal compounds containing Schiff base ligands have been of great interest for many years. These compounds play an important role in the development of coordination chemistry (Gibson et al., 2007). Aryl-substituted iminopyridine complexes have emerged as a powerful class of catalysts for a host of important bond-forming reactions including olefin polymerization (Ittel et al., 2000; Gibson & Spitzmesser, 2003), hydrogenation and hydrosilation (Bart et al., 2004). It is also now well established that iminopyridines are both redox (Sugiyama et al., 2004) and chemically active ligands (Kooistra et al., 2004) participating in electron transfer, addition reactions and deprotonation chemistry (Bouwkamp et al., 2006). We report herein the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the molecule of the title compound (Fig. 1), the Zn atom is four-coordinated in distorted tetrahedral geometry (Table 1) by two N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and two I atoms. The bond angles around the Zn atom deviate from the ideal tetrahedral geometry (Dehghanpour et al., 2007). Rings A (N1/C1–C5) and B (C7/C8/C10/C11/C12/C14) are, of course, planar, and they are oriented at a dihedral angle of 70.75 (3)°. Ring C (Zn1/N1/N2/C5/C6) has envelope conformation, with N2 atom displaced by 0.104 (3) Å from the plane of the other ring atoms. The weak π–π interaction between B rings CgB···CgBi [symmetry code: (iv) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] may stabilize the structure, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.975 (4) Å.
