The Zn(II) atom in the title compound, [Zn(C(6)H(12)NOS(2))Cl(C(10)H(8)N(2))], is coordinated by a chelating N-2-hy-droxy-ethyl-N-isopropyl-dithio-carbamate ligand, a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand and a Cl atom. The resulting ClN(2)S(2) donor set defines a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry. Helical supra-molecular chains sustained by O-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and propagating along the b axis...

The copper(II) atom in the title compound, [Cu(C(5)H(10)NS(2))I(C(12)H(8)N(2))], is chelated by the N-heterocycle and the dithio-carbamate anion in a slightly distorted tetragonal coordination. The tetragonal-pyramidal coorination is completed by the iodine atom in the apical position. One ethyl group is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.31 (2) and 0.69 (2).

Properties of bottomonia (Υ, χb and Υ ′) in the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) are investigated by assessing inelastic reaction rates and their interplay with open-bottom states (b quarks or B mesons) and color-screening. The latter leads to vanishing quarkonium-binding energies at sufficiently high temperatures (close to the dissolution point), which, in particular, renders standard gluodissociation...
