The title complex, [ZnI2(C12H18N2O)], is a mononuclear zinc(II) compound derived from the zwitterionic form of the Schiff base (E)-2-[(3-dimethylaminopropylimino)methyl]phenol. The ZnII atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by two iodide ions in a tetrahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
