Enhanced Homogeneous Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution in a Binuclear Bio-Inspired Ni-Ni Complex Bearing Phenanthroline and Sulfidophenolate Ligands.

ABSTRACT: The prominence of binuclear, bimetallic catalysts underlines the need for the design and development of diverse bifunctional ligand frameworks that exhibit tunable electronic and structural properties. Such strategies enable metal-metal and ligand-metal cooperation towards catalytic applications, improve catalytic activity, and are essential for advancing multi-electron transfers for catalytic application. In this work we present the synthesis, crystal structure, and photocatalytic properties of a binuclear Ni(II) complex, [Ni₂(1,10-phenanthroline)₂(2-sulfidophenolate)₂] (1). Complex 1 crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic system (P-1) showing extensive intra- and inter- non-coordinated interactions. 1 is employed as a catalyst for light driven hydr
