Electrochemical hydrogenation of a homogeneous nickel complex to form a surface adsorbed hydrogen-evolving species†
Abstract
A Ni(II) complex degrades electrochemically in the presence of acid in acetonitrile to form an electrode adsorbed film that catalytically evolves hydrogen. Comparison with a similar compound permitted investigation of the degradation mechanism.
