The electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction in the presence of a metal-free organic catalyst based on 1,10-phenanthroline: the first example of a reaction proceeding by an intramolecular mechanism

Abstract

This article presents data on the electrocatalytic activity of new members of the metal-free electrocatalyst family, 1,10-phenathroline and N-methyl-1,10-phenathrolium iodide, for the hydrogen evolution reaction in the presence of HClO4 and CF3COOH.
