Abstract

In this study, we report the electrocatalytic behavior of the neutral, monomeric Ni(II) complex of diacetyl-bis(N-4-methyl-3-thiosemicarbazonato), NiL1, for ligand-assisted metal-centered hydrogen evolution in acetonitrile (ACN) and dimethylformamide (DMF). Using foot-of-the-wave analysis (FOWA), NiL1 displays a maximum turnover frequency (TOF) of 4200 and 1200 s
