In the title compound, [ZnI2(C12H12N2)(C2H6OS)], the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide molecule and two I atoms in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.637 (4) and 3.818 (4) Å] are present in the crystal structure.

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 4,4'-dmbipy (0.15 g, 0.80 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of ZnI2 (0.25 g, 0.80 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) at room temperature. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction experiment were obtained by methanol diffusion into a colorless solution in DMSO after one week (yield: 0.34 g, 73.1%).
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) and 0.96 (methyl) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest residual electron density was found 0.81 Å from I2 and the deepest hole 0.86 Å from I1.
4,4'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dmbipy) is a good bidentate ligand and numerous complexes with 4,4'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of mercury (Kalateh et al., 2008; Yousefi et al., 2008), indium (Ahmadi et al., 2008), iron (Amani et al., 2009), platinum (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008), manganese (Sakamoto et al., 2004), silver (Bellusci et al., 2008), gallium (Sofetis et al., 2006), copper (Willett et al., 2001), zinc (Alizadeh et al., 2010), cadmium (Kalateh et al., 2010) and iridium (Yoshikawa et al., 2003). Here, we report the synthesis and structure of the title compound.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a 4,4'-dmbipy ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide molecule and two I- anions in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The Zn—I, Zn—O and Zn—N bond lengths are collected in Table 1. In the π–π stacking interactions (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg2i and Cg2···Cg3ii [symmetry codes: (i) 1-x, -y, 1-z; (ii) -x, -y, 1-z; Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1, C1, C2, C3, C5, C6 ring and N2, C7, C8, C9, C11, C12 ring, respectively] may stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.637 (4) and 3.818 (4) Å.

4,4'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (4,4'-dmbipy) is a good bidentate ligand and numerous complexes with 4,4'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of mercury (Kalateh et al., 2008; Yousefi et al., 2008), indium (Ahmadi et al., 2008), iron (Amani et al., 2009), platinum (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008), manganese (Sakamoto et al., 2004), silver (Bellusci et al., 2008), gallium (Sofetis et al., 2006), copper (Willett et al., 2001), zinc (Alizadeh et al., 2010), cadmium (Kalateh et al., 2010) and iridium (Yoshikawa et al., 2003). Here, we report the synthesis and structure of the title compound.
In the title compound (Fig. 1), the ZnII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a 4,4'-dmbipy ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide molecule and two I- anions in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The Zn—I, Zn—O and Zn—N bond lengths are collected in Table 1. In the crystal structure, intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and intermolecular π–π stacking interactions (Fig. 2) between the pyridine rings, Cg2···Cg2i and Cg2···Cg3ii [symmetry codes: (i) 1-x, -y, 1-z; (ii) -x, -y, 1-z; Cg2 and Cg3 are the centroids of the N1, C1, C2, C3, C5, C6 ring and N2, C7, C8, C9, C11, C12 ring, respectively] may stabilize the structure, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.637 (4) and 3.818 (4) Å.
