Abstract
Nickel complexes with non-innocent ligands generated by one-electron reduction of octahedral Schiff base nickel(ii) complexes with hemilabile ligands exhibited excellent catalytic activities of over 5000 TONs through a metal-ligand cooperation mechanism for hydrogen evolution from water under visible light irradiation.
