Preparation of 34-MBTSC
The ligand 34-MBTSC (Figure S 1, Supplemental Materials) was obtained from 3,4-
dimethoxybenzaldehyde and thiosemicarbazide (1:1 molar ratio) in ethanol (10 mL) follow-
ing the literature method.24 Yield: 83%. Colorless crystals. Anal. Calc. for C10H13N3O2S:

Preparation of [Zn(34-MBTSC)2Cl2] (1)
To a stirring ethanolic (5 mL) solution of the 34-MBTSC ligand (0.408 g, 0.2 mmol)
was added ZnCl2 (0.028 g, 0.2 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) and the mixture was stirred
for 10 min in air at r.t. and was then left at r.t. for several days without disturbance yielding
suitable crystals of 1 that subsequently were filtered off and washed with Et2O. Yield: 72%.
