2-(4-Chloro­benzo­yl)-1-(diamino­methyl­ene)hydrazinium chloride monohydrate

In the cation of the title compound, C8H10ClN4O+·Cl−·H2O, the guanidinium group is planar (maximum deviation = 0.0001 Å) and nearly perpendicular to carboxamide group, making a dihedral angle of 87.0 (3)°. The N atoms of the guanidine fragment have a planar trigonal configuration and the N atom of the carboxamide group adopts a pyramidal configuration. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular N—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the cations, anions and water mol­ecules into layers parallel to the bc plane

Neutron diffraction study of Ti-Zr alloy microstructure evolution during annealing after severe plastic deformation

The evolution of the Ti-Zr alloy microstructure (residual stresses, as well as microstress) during annealing after severe plastic deformation is reported. A strong residual macro-stresses relief starts at temperature of 530-540 degrees C. A steep decrease continues up to 580 degrees C and a further slight decrease up to 600 degrees C. Microstrain (caused by the high dislocation density created by equal channel angular pressing) is almost constant up to 300 degrees C, and then begins to decrease gradually due to recovery. The microstrain decrease accelerates at 560 degrees C and is finished at 580 degrees C. Most probably, this is caused by recrystallization. The information obtained is important for possible microstructure modifications and tuning via post-process heat treatment.Web of Science14SUPPL 1S230S22

Coping with Public and Private Face-to-Face and Cyber Victimization among Adolescents in Six Countries: Roles of Severity and Country

This study investigated the role of medium (face-to-face, cyber) and publicity (public, private) in adolescents’ perceptions of severity and coping strategies (i.e., avoidant, ignoring, helplessness, social support seeking, retaliation) for victimization, while accounting for gender and cultural values. There were 3432 adolescents (ages 11–15, 49% girls) in this study; they were from China, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, India, Japan, and the United States. Adolescents completed questionnaires on individualism and collectivism, and ratings of coping strategies and severity for public face-to-face victimization, private face-to-face victimization, public cyber victimization, and private cyber victimization. Findings revealed similarities in adolescents’ coping strategies based on perceptions of severity, publicity, and medium for some coping strategies (i.e., social support seeking, retaliation) but differential associations for other coping strategies (i.e., avoidance, helplessness, ignoring). The results of this study are important for prevention and intervention efforts because they underscore the importance of teaching effective coping strategies to adolescents, and to consider how perceptions of severity, publicity, and medium might influence the implementation of these coping strategies

Concise synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-carboxylic acid

A concise synthesis of all four stereoisomers of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-3-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2-carboxylic acid has been developed; thereby significantly shortening the known literature procedures for the syntheses of these unnatural amino acids. With a simple adjustment of the reaction conditions, we were able to obtain either pure cis or trans acid. Optical resolution was accomplished via diastereomeric salt formation or alternatively via chromatography on a chiral stationary phase. Finally, ab-initio calculations gave an explanation for the observed cis selectivity in the initial step
