Abstract Previously unknown N-(2-nitroxyethyl) isonicotinamide was synthesized by the reaction of isonicotinoyl chloride with 2-nitroxyethylamine and was used as a ligand in the reactions with PdCl 2 and PtCl 2 to prepare new complexes, viz., trans-bis [(2-nitroxyethyl) isonicotinamide-N] dichloropalladium (ii) and cis-bis [(2-nitroxyethyl) isonicotinamide-N] dichloroplatinum (ii), respectively. The structures of the ligand and the resulting complexes ...
