The catalytic activity of these materials is thought to be limited to their rare edge sites, however. Seeking a way to mimic the necessary active sites on a larger scale, Yiying Wu and colleagues have synthesized a series of three molybdenum sulfide catalysts with different bipyridine ligands. By modifying similar peroxo complexes, the researchers generate catalysts with molecular triangle moieties that mimic the edge sites of MoS<sub>x<\/sub>materials. These catalysts facilitate the HER with high efficiencies, with tunable rate constants and overpotentials that depended on the basicity of the S-S bond within each catalyst. These results shed light on the potential of new Mo-S catalysts for HER.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Way Forward in Molecular Electrocatalysis http:\/\/pubs.acs.org\/doi\/full\/10.1021\/acs.inorgchem.6b02502 Inorganic Chemistry, the\u00a0Journal of the American Chemical Society, and\u00a0ACS Catalysis\u00a0are teaming up to launch a cross-journal inorganic chemistry virtual issue designed to showcase the most significant recent publications in electrocatalysis.
