{4-Bromo-2-[3-(diethyl-ammonio)propyl-imino-meth-yl]phenolato}diiodidozinc(II) methanol solvate.

ABSTRACT

In the title complex, [ZnI(2)(C(14)H(21)BrN(2)O)]·CH(3)OH, the asymmetric unit consists of a mononuclear zinc(II) complex mol-ecule and a methanol solvent mol-ecule. The compound was derived from the zwitterionic form of the Schiff base 4-bromo-2-[3-(diethyl-amino)propyl-imino-meth-yl]phenol. The Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by the imine N and phenolate O atoms of the Schiff base ligand and by two iodide ions in a distorted tetra-hedral coordination. In the crystal structure, the methanol mol-ecules are linked to the Schiff base mol-ecules through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. One I atom is disordered over two positions in a 0.702 (19)0.298 (19) ratio.
