[Ni(PCy2NArginine2)2]2+(CyArg) or[Ni(PCy2NBenzyl2)2]2+(CyBn) were evaluated for H2 oxidation as a function of temperature, pressure, and solvent. 70 °C and 100 atm H2 result in a TOF of 1.1 × 106 s-1 and an overpotential of 240 mV forCyArgin water. In methanol the rates were 280 s-1forCyArg and 80 s-1 for CyBn, demonstrating the importance of water and the outer coordination sphere (OCS).
