Abstract: In the title complex, [ZnI₂(C₁₃H₁₂N₂O)], the Zn^II atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination. The organic ligand is bidentate, coordinating the Zn^II atom via the two N atoms. The benzene and pyridine rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 11.67 (9)°. In the crystal, weak C-HI and C-HO hydrogen bonds are observed, in addition to [pi] - [pi] stacking interactions, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.72 (5) Å.
