Abstract
production. However, the latter will require a third protonation event to occur, which would fall in one of the N atoms adjacent to the Ni center, resulting in a similar mechanism. Finally, we show that the H-H bond formation is the rate-limiting step, and suggest additional strategies that can be taken into account to further optimize these complexes.
