The crystal structure of the title compound, [Sn(C27H27N4O3)]I.0.5CH3CN, involves two almost identical complex cations in the asymmetric unit. These cations contain Sn atoms in a pseudo-octahedral environment with facial coordination of the azomethine N and the phenolate O atoms. The average Sn-O and Sn-N bond lengths are 2.048 (4) and 2.192 (5) Å, respectively, while the apical N atom in the ligand is considered to be non-bonded at an average distance of 2.687 (5) Å from the Sn atom.
