Electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution by cobalt difluoroboryl-diglyoximate complexes

Xile Hu, Brandi M. Cossairt, Bruce S. Brunschwig, Nathan S. Lewis and Jonas C. Peters


In the presence of moderately strong acids in CH3CN, cobalt complexes with BF2-bridged diglyoxime ligands are active catalysts for the reduction of protons to H2 at potentials as positive as –0.28 V vs. SCE.
