The title compound, C15H13ClN6, contains two pyrimidine rings and one benzene ring, where the dihedral angle between the planes through the pyrimidine rings is 81.57 (10)°, and those between the pyrimidine rings and the benzene ring are 84.02 (8) and 89.46 (7)°, indicating that the three rings are almost perpendicular. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along (100)

4-Methyl-N-[(E)-4-methyl-1-(4-methyl­phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1,2-dihydropyridin-2-yl­idene]benzene­sulfonamide

The reaction of 2-(amino­meth­yl)pyridine and 4-toluene­sulfonyl chloride in CH2Cl2 at pH 8 led to the title compound, C20H20N2O4S2. The aromatic rings are almost perpendicular to each other and the dihedral angles between the aromatic ring planes are 74.33 (9) (central pyridine versus benzene ring of the tosyl group bonded to the imine functionality), 73.77 (6) (pyridine versus benzene ring of the tosyl group bonded to pyridinic N atom) and 79.83 (9)° (benzene rings of tosyl groups). In the crystal structure, inter­molecular aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid separation = 3.6274 (14) Å] help to consolidate the packing

Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of a binuclear complex and a coordination polymer of copper(II)

Two new copper complexes [(bipy)(pydc)Cu(µ-OCO-pydc)Cu(bipy)(H2O)].3.5H­2O (1) and {[(µ2-C2O4)(2,2'-bipy)Cu].2H2O}n (2) (pydcH2 = pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylilic acid, bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) have been hydrothermally synthesized. Both complexes were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Complex 1 consists of two independent neutral molecules. In every moiety, metal ion center is in a distorted octahedral geometry. Coordination polymer (2) has been prepared from the reaction of bis-(cyclohexanone)-oxal-dihydrazone,2,2'-bipyridine and Cu(NO3)2 in basic solution and under hydrothermal condition. The results showed that the bis-(cyclohexanone)-oxal-dihydrazone was converted to oxalate ion under heating and basic pH. Each metal ion center in 2 is in a distorted octahedral geometry and is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two bridged oxalate ions and two nitrogen atoms of 2,2'-bipyridine molecules. In the crystal structure of 2, some H-bonds and π-π interaction cause formation of a 3D network. KEY WORDS: Hydrothermal synthesis, Cu complex, Coordination polymer, Crystal structure  Bull. Chem.

The Effectiveness of Forgiveness Therapy on Metacognition and Self-Restraint among Female Adolescents with Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder

Background and Aim:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of forgiveness therapy on state metacognition and self-restraint of female adolescents with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Materials and Methods:The research method was semi-experimental with pretest-posttest and a control group. The statistical population of this study were all students with symptoms of disruptive mood dysregulation disorderin the first and second grades of high school in the age range of 14-17 years in schools of Baharestan,Tehran. 35 subjects were selected by convenience sampling method based on the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The research instruments included Emotional ResponseScale, Self-Restraint Questionnaire, and State Metacognition Questionnaire. The subjects of the experimental group received 15 sessions of forgiveness therapy while the control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed by multivariate covariance analysis. Results:The results of data analysis showed that the experimental group compared with the control group in the variables of state metacognition and self-restraint and their components had a significant increase (P<0.05). Conclusion:According to the findings of the study, forgiveness therapy can be used to increase self-restraint and state metacognition in students withdisruptive mood dysregulation disorde
