title: Ambiguous electrocatalytic CO2reduction behaviour of a nickel bis(aldimino)pyridine pincer complex.
abstract: The electrochemical properties of two Ni(NNN)X2pincer complexes are reported where X = Cl or Br and NNN is N,N'-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)bis-aldiminopyridine. Cyclic voltammetry under 1 atm of CO2suggests electrocatalytic CO2reduction activity, however, bulk electrolysis shows a poor Faradaic efficiency for CO evolution with a high Faradaic yield for H2evolution.
