Abstract
A cobalt corrole with an appended crown ether unit displays significantly boosted electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution activity in the presence of water as reported by Rui Cao and co-workers in their Communication (e202114310). The crown ether unit is able to grab water molecules through hydrogen bond interactions. The established water network can play critical roles in assisting proton transfer, leading to improved electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction, which mimics water-network-assisted proton transfer as found in metalloproteins.
