The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(16)H(34)N(4) (2+)·2I(-)·2H(2)O, contains one half-cation, one iodide anion and one water mol-ecule. The cation has crystallographically imposed centrosymmetric symmetry. Despite some differences in the unit-cell dimensions, packing analysis on a cluster of 15 cations and a comparison of the hydrogen bonding suggests that this compound is isostructural with its bromide analogue. Inter-molecular hydrogen bonding forms eight-membered H-O-H⋯I and H-N-H⋯I rings and creates a sheet structure.
