title: Neutral nickel(II) phthalocyanine as a stable catalyst for visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution from water.
abstract: Neutral nickel(ii) phthalocyanine was found to be an efficient and stable catalyst for photocatalytic H2 evolution from water when coupled with an iridium complex as the photosensitizer and triethanolamine as the sacrificial electron donor. The result shows that the Ni-N sigma bond can enhance the stability of the catalyst.
