Abstract

The strategic inclusion of nucleic bases adenine, cytosine, and thymine, in the form of outer coordination sphere, positively impacts the electro- and photocatalytic H₂ production by cobaloxime cores. These cobaloxime derivatives showcased their optimal H₂ production in acidic media due to specific protonation of adenine and cytosine below pH 5.0.
