Popis: The compounds Rh 2 (O 2 CR) 4 ·2metronidazole (R = CH 3 (1); CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 Ph (2)) have been prepared by the reaction of Rh 2 (O 2 CR) 4 with an excess of metronidazole. The compounds have been characterized by analytical, spectroscopic, electrochemical and crystallographic measurements. Preliminary biological studies, on 1 , have shown the compound to have selective toxic effects on DNA and intact cells under both anoxic and hypoxic conditions.
