The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has launched a disciplinary investigation into the behavior of Turkish fans at the match of the second qualifying round of the Champions League between Fenerbahce (Turkey) and Dynamo (Kyiv). The football match, which took place on Wednesday in Istanbul, ended with a score of 2:1 in extra time in favor of the Ukrainian team. After the Ukrainian team scored the first goal, Turkish fans started chanting the name of Russian President Vladimir Putin. "In accordance with Article 31(4) of the Disciplinary Regulations, the UEFA Ethics and Disciplinary Inspector will conduct an investigation into the alleged misconduct of Fenerbahce fans during the Champions League second qualifying round second leg against Dynamo Kyiv," the statement said.

Fans from all over the world continue coming to Russia for the World Cup. In Moscow, football fans paralyzed many pedestrian streets having arranged mass festivities there. Most fans gathered on Nikolskaya Street, which is adjacent to Red Square. Crowds of football fans gathered on Nikolskaya Street to support their national teams. Russia is welcoming fans of all ages - one can see elderly people holding hands, young people partying and even young parents with children. Light garlands above the street created a very special atmosphere of a football carnival against the background of facades of historical buildings covered with flags of the countries participating in the championship.Representatives of Latin and South America predictably turned out to be most active football fans, for whom football is a religion. Peruvians and Mexicans attracted people's attention by performing  national dances and playing traditional musical instruments. Fans from Argentina gathered the largest number of fans around themselves as they were singing the national anthem in unison, infecting everyone around with football fever.The Moscow police were behaving in a very friendly way with foreign guests, but were firmly suppressing all attempts of the latter to drink alcoholic beverages in public places. Of course, unpleasant incidents are unavoidable, and foreign football fans already appear in crime reports. In St. Petersburg, a fan from Morocco was robbed after visiting the festival of FIFA fans on Konyushennaya Square. On the way back, the man found that he lost 2,500 euros and his iPhone 7. The loss was evaluated at about 200,000 rubles. The Moroccan fan could only speak Arabic, and it took police officers a lot of time to understand what he was trying to say.On June 11, a Chinese woman reported the loss of a designer backpack and an amount of money worth 3,000 dollars. The same day, an American man addressed the police saying that he was left without cash. A 25-year-old Egyptian reported the loss of his luggage. The young man could not overcome the language barrier and resorted to the help of his friend, who could speak English. It turned out that the men forgot about their bag with tickets inside as they were stunned with views of St. Petersburg. In Kaliningrad, Nigerian football fans asked local authorities permission to bring live chickens to the stadium. The authorities had to decline. For Nigerian fans, a chicken is their mascot that they bring to every venue.  They did not specify what they needed the chickens for, although it is generally believed that African football fans usually practice various magic rituals during football matches, and chickens are widely used in Africa for sacrifice.

The mol­ecule of the title NCNHCS pincer N-heterocyclic carbene palladium(II) complex, [PdBr(C21H25N3S)]Br, exhibits a slightly distorted square-planar coordination at the palladium(II) atom, with the five-membered chelate ring nearly planar. The six-membered chelate ring adopts an envelope conformation. Upon chelation, the sulfur atom becomes a stereogenic centre with an RS configuration induced by the chiral carbon of the precursor imidazolium salt. There are intra­molecular C—H⋯Br—Pd hydrogen bonds in the structure. The two inter­stitial Br atoms, as the counter-anion of the structure, are both located on crystallographic twofold axes and are connected to the complex cations via C—H⋯·Br hydrogen bonds.

Starting from (p-tolyl­sulfin­yl)fer­ro­cene (1), a mixture of the complete series [CpFe{C5H5–n(SOTol-p)n}] (n = 2–4) (2–4) in all regioisomers was obtained. After chromatographic separation, crystals of 1,2-bis­[(4-methyl­benzene)­sulfin­yl]fer­ro­cene, 2a, and 1,3-bis­[(4-methyl­benzene)­sulfin­yl]fer­ro­cene, 2b, both [Fe(C5H5)(C19H17O2S2)], as well as of 1,2,3-tris­[(4-methyl­benzene)­sulfin­yl]fer­ro­cene, [Fe(C5H5)(C26H23O3S3)], 3a, and 1,2,3,4-tetra­kis­[(4-methyl­benzene)­sul­fin­yl]fer­ro­cene ethyl acetate 0.75-solvate, [Fe(C5H5)(C33H29O4S4)]·0.75C4H8O2, 4, could be isolated. Their mol­ecular and crystal structures are compared with each other and also with the so far un­reported structures of related 1,2-bis­(phenyl­sulfan­yl)fer­ro­cene, [Fe(C5H5)(C17H13S2)], 5, and 1,2,3,4-tetra­kis­(phenyl­sulfan­yl)fer­ro­cene, [Fe(C5H5)(C29H21S4)], 6. In all the sulfinyl structures, the O atoms of the S=O groups are in equatorial positions, except for that in tetrasubstituted 4. All the arene rings of these com­pounds (except for one ring in 4) are in axial positions directed away from the Fe atom, mostly in a near perpendicular orientation with respect to the plane of the cyclo­penta­di­en­yl ring. The main inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystals are C—H⋯H—C, C—H⋯π and C—H⋯O, while C—H⋯S inter­actions are much less important, except for tetra­sul­fan­yl com­pound 6. π–π inter­actions (intra­molecular) are only important in com­pound 3a. Hirshfeld analysis shows that dispersion terms are dominant for the inter­action energies of all six com­pounds. In general, the calculated total inter­action energies increase with increasing number of substituents and are higher for the sulfinyl than for the sul­fan­yl groups.

The title compound, C10H11N5O2S2, consists of an unexpected tautomer with a protonated nitro­gen atom in the triazine ring and a formal exocyclic double bond C=N to the sulfonamide moiety. The ring angles at the unsubstituted nitro­gen atoms are narrow, at 115.57 (12) and 115.19 (12)°, respectively, whereas the angle at the carbon atom between these N atoms is very wide, 127.97 (13)°. The inter­planar angle between the two rings is 79.56 (5)°. The mol­ecules are linked by three classical hydrogen bonds, forming a ribbon structure. There are also unusual linkages involving three short contacts (< 3 Å) from a sulfonamide oxygen atom to the C—NH—C part of a triazine ring.

The title compound, C27H20N4O3S, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with Z = 4. The global shape of the mol­ecule is determined by the orientation of the substituents on the central 4H-1,2,4-triazole ring. The nitro­phenyl ring, phenyl ring, and naphthalene ring system are oriented at dihedral angles of 82.95 (17), 77.14 (18) and 89.46 (15)°, respectively, with respect to the triazole ring. The crystal packing features chain formation in the b-axis direction by S⋯O inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the highest contributions to surface contacts arise from contacts in which H atoms are involved.

In the title compound, C21H15N5OS2, mol­ecular pairs are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds along the c-axis direction and C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds along the b-axis direction, with R22(12) and R22(16) motifs, respectively, thus forming layers parallel to the (10overline{4}) plane. In addition, C=S⋯π and C≡N⋯π inter­actions between the layers ensure crystal cohesion. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions to the crystal packing are H⋯H (43.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (16.9%), N⋯H/H⋯N (11.3%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (10.9%) inter­actions.

N-Phenyl-2-(phenyl­sulfan­yl)acetamide, C14H13NOS, was synthesized and structurally characterized. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of chains of mol­ecules along the [100] direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal studied was twinned by a twofold rotation around [100].

4,4'-(Disulfanedi­yl)dipyridinium chloride triiodide, C10H10N2S22+·Cl−·I3−, (1) was synthesized by reaction of 4,4'-di­pyridyl­disulfide with ICl in a 1:1 molar ratio in di­chloro­methane solution. The structural characterization of 1 by SC-XRD analysis was supported by elemental analysis, FT–IR, and FT–Raman spectroscopic measurements.

The pyrazolo­pyrimidine moiety in the title mol­ecule, C13H12N4S, is planar with the methyl­sulfanyl substituent lying essentially in the same plane. The benzyl group is rotated well out of this plane by 73.64 (6)°, giving the mol­ecule an approximate L shape. In the crystal, C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds form tubes extending along the a axis. Furthermore, there are π–π inter­actions between parallel phenyl rings with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.8418 (12) Å. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (47.0%), H⋯N/N⋯H (17.6%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (17.0%) inter­actions. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space were calculated to be 76.45 Å3 and 6.39%, showing that there is no large cavity in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the cohesion of the crystal structure is dominated by the dispersion energy contributions.

The di­hydro­imidazole ring in the title mol­ecule, C20H20N2O3S, is slightly distorted and the lone pair on the tri-coordinate nitro­gen atom is involved in intra-ring π bonding. The methyl­sulfanyl substituent lies nearly in the plane of the five-membered ring while the ester substituent is rotated well out of that plane. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers, which are connected along the a- and c-axis directions by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. The major contributors to the Hirshfeld surface are C⋯H/H⋯C, O⋯H/H⋯O and S⋯H/H⋯S contacts at 20.5%, 14.7% and 4.9%, respectively.

The two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H24N2O2S, have a structural overlap with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.82 Å. The piperidine rings adopt a distorted boat conformation. Intra- and inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are responsible for the cohesion of the crystal packing. The inter­molecular inter­actions were qu­anti­fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis. The mol­ecular structure optimized by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p)level is compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state.
