Article Synopsis
- Within species, vocal and auditory systems have evolved to optimize sound production and perception for communication, and this study investigates how dogs fit into this framework despite their inability to produce spoken words.
- The acoustic analysis indicates that dog vocalizations have a slower rhythm than human syllabic speech, with human-directed speech falling in between the two.
- The research demonstrates that dogs comprehend speech through a slower rhythm tracking (delta) compared to humans (theta), suggesting humans might adjust their speech rate to enhance communication with dogs.
The ionic transition metal complexes (iTMCs) [{Pt(CC*)(μ-Rpz)}Ag(PPh)]X (HCC* = 1-(4-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl)-3-methyl-1-imidazole-2-ylidene, X = ClO/PF Rpz = pz , 4-Mepz , and 3,5-dppz ) were prepared from the neutral [{Pt(CC*)(μ-Rpz)}] (Rpz = pz , 4-Mepz , and 3,5-dppz ) and fully characterized. The "Ag(PPh)" fragment is in between the two square-planar platinum units in an "open book" disposition and bonded through two Pt-Ag donor-acceptor bonds, as shown by X-ray diffraction (d ∼ 2.78 Å, -).

Design: Video recordings were created by dubbing the existing audio files.
