Supporting information
A mixture of 2-acetylpyridine (0.20 g, 1.65 mmol) and 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine (0.21 g, 1.65 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) was refluxed for 2 h, followed by addition of a solution of zinc(II) acetate dihydrate (0.36 g, 1.65 mmol) and potassium iodide (0.54 g, 3.3 mmol) in a minimum amount of water. The resulting solution was refluxed for 30 min and then left at room temperature. Brown crystals of the title complex were obtained in a few days.
H atoms were placed at calculated positions and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.95 (aryl), 0.98 (methyl) and 0.99 (methylene) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2(1.5 for methyl)Ueq(C).

The title compound (Fig. 1) was obtained via the complexation of ZnII ion with the in situ prepared Schiff base, 2-morpholino-N-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]ethanamine, and two iodide ions. Similar to what was observed in an analogous ZnCl2 complex (Ikmal Hisham et al., 2011), the Schiff base acts as an N,N',N''-tridentate chelate ligand, along with two halide ligands, make a distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the metal ion (τ = 0.24, Addison et al., 1984). The Zn—I and Zn—N interatomic distances (Table 1) are comparable to the values reported for similar structures (Drew & Hollis, 1978; Yousefi, 2010). In the crystal, a pair of the molecules, related by a symmetry operation -x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 2, are linked through C—H···O hydrogen bonds into a centrosymmetric dimer (Table 2).
