User:Imareaver/4-pyridylnicotinamide

N-(Pyridin-4-yl)nicotinamide (4-pna) is a kinked dipodal dipyridine which was originally developed for use in chemotherapy The nitrogen atoms on its pyridine rings can donate their electron lone pairs to metal cations, allowing it to bridge metal centers and act as a bidentate ligand in coordination polymers. It is synthesized through the reaction of nicotinoyl chloride and 4-Aminopyridine.
