Abstract

The pyridine-rich complex [Ni^II(L^N₂Py₃)(MeCN)](ClO₄)₂ (1) acts as an efficient electro- and photocatalyst in the generation of H₂ from water. Observed TONs reach 1050 for electrocatalysis and a remarkable 3500 for photocatalysis. Experimental and DFT data support the ligand-reduced [Ni^IL] as the catalytically active species, contrasting with the [Co^IL] observed for cobalt catalysts.
