Abstract In this work we present the electrocatalytic activity of alkylated nickel bis-dithiolene complexes toward hydrogen evolution from protons (TFA) in organic media (DMF). The hydrogen evolving mechanism is discussed and the complexes are compared to their non-alkylated analogs using DFT calculations. The findings support increased metal participation in the hydrogen evolving mechanism due to
