The title compound, [Zn(C13H16BrN2O2)I(CH3OH)], is a new mononuclear zinc(II) complex synthesized by the reaction of equimolar quantities of 5-bromosalicylaldehyde, 2-morpholinoethylamine and ZnI2 in methanol. The Zn atom is four-coordinate in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, binding to a phenolate O and an imine N atom of the Schiff base ligand, the O atom of a methanol molecule and one I− anion. In the crystal structure, adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers.
