Abstract

A nickel(II) bis(diphosphine) complex, [Ni(P ^Me ₂N ^Ph ₂) ₂](BF ₄) ₂ (P ^Me ₂N ^Ph ₂ = 1,5-diphenyl-3,7-dimethyl- 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane), has been synthesized and characterized. This complex, which contains pendant amines in the diphosphine ligand, is an electrocatalyst for hydrogen production by proton reduction. Using [(DMF)H]OTf as the acid, a turnover frequency of 1,540 s ^-1 was obtained with no added water, and a turnover frequency of 6,700 s ^-1 was found with 1.0 M water added. Thermochemical studies show that the hydride donor ability of [HNi(P ^Me ₂N ^Ph ₂) ₂](BF ₄) is δG° _H- = 54.0 kcal/mol, and we estimate a driving force for H ₂ elimination of 13.8 kcal/mol. [Ni(P ^Me ₂N ^Ph ₂) ₂](BF ₄) ₂ is the fastest H ₂ production catalyst in the [Ni(P ^R ₂N ^R' ₂) ₂] (BF ₄) ₂ family of complexes.
