Three air-stable Triphos nickel(II) halide pincercomplexes (Triphos = bis(2-diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine) have been prepared and tested as proton reduction electrocatalysts using acetic acid or trifluoroacetic acid as the proton source in acetonitrile. Electrochemical studies have found them to be robust catalysts with the iodide complex exhibiting the lowest overpotential of 0.52 V in the
