Abstract

Read online

The characterization of nickel (Ni)‐centred paramagnetic states relevant to [NiFe] hydrogenases is rare in mononuclear Ni hydrogen evolution catalysts. Here, the authors report the spectroscopic and synthetic characterization of NiI and NiIII states in an organometallic Ni hydrogen evolution catalyst.
