The syntheses and X-ray crystal structures of dinuclear μ-azido and μ-nitrido bridged iridium complexes bearing the pyridine, diimine ligand (PDI) are reported. Their electronic structures and formal oxidation states of the metal centers are analyzed by theoretical and experimental methods, revealing the non-innocence of the PDI and nitrido ligands.

In recent years chaotic secure communication and chaos synchronization have received ever increasing attention. Unfortunately, despite the advantages of chaotic systems, Such as, noise-like correlation, easy hardware implementation, multitude of chaotic modes, flexible control of their dynamics, chaotic self-synchronization phenomena and potential communication confidence due to the very dynami...

Multiple description (MD) coding has evolved as a promising technique for promoting error resiliency of multimedia system in real-time application programs over error-prone communicational channels. Although multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDCLVQ) is an efficient method for transmitting reliable data in the context of potential error channels, this method doesn’t consider disc...
