The title complex, [CuZnI2(C17H16N2O 2)(C6H7N)], consists of a doubly oxygen-bridged heteronuclear dimeric complex. The Cu atom has a distorted square-pyramidal environment involving two O atoms and two N atoms of the bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediaminate (SALPD2-) ligand, and an N atom of the 3-methylpyridine group. The Cu-O distances in the coordination plane are 1.973 (3) and 1.974 (2) Å, and the average Cu-N distance is 2.088 (4) Å. In the bridging plane, the Cu-O-Zn, O-Zn-O, Zn-O-Cu and O-Cu-O angles are 102.5 (1), 76.7 (1), 102.7 (1) and 77.9 (1) °, respectively. The dihedral angle between the coordination plane around the Cu atom and the 3-methylpyridine group is 88. 4(1) °. The Cu⋯Zn distance is 3.1013 (7) Å.
