A Co(III) complex with a mesoionic pyridylcarbene ligand is presented. This complex is an efficient electrocatalyst for H2 production at very low overpotential and high turnovers when using a (glassy carbon) GC electrode. The corresponding triazole complexes display no catalytic activity whatsoever under identical conditions. The remarkable robustness of the Co-C(carbene) bond towards acids is likely responsible for the high efficiency of this catalyst. The present results thus open new avenues for carbene-based ligands for generating functional models for hydrogenases.
