Abstract

A nickel(II) complex with the newly synthesized dicarboxamide ligand [H2LBZ][(CF3SO3)Cl] was explored as a water oxidation catalysis. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and single-crystal XRD analysis. The superior kinetics of the water oxidation reaction in the presence of the NiII catalyst was shown by an enhanced current of 4535 µA (pH 8) or 8900 µA (pH 10) at an overpotential of 186 mV in a cyclic voltammogram. Controlled potential electrolysis demonstrated that the catalyst was stable during the water oxidation experiment. These results are akin to those for other reported nickel catalysts.
