Efficient electrocatalytic production of H 2 from mixed water/acetonitrile solutions was achieved using three new Co II complexes supported by the neutral pincer ligand bis(diphenylphosphino)‐2,6‐di(methylamino)pyridine (“PN 3 P”). At −1.9 V vs. Fc/Fc + , these catalysts showed 96 % Faradaic efficiency with added water or saturated aqueous saline at rates of up to 316 L(mol cat) −1 (cm 2 ) −1  h −1 using a glassy carbon working electrode. The complex [Co(κ 3 ‐2,6‐{Ph 2 PNMe} 2 (NC 5 H 3 )Br 2 ] ( 1 ) was also able to photocatalytically reduce water to hydrogen in the presence of a Ru(bpy) 3 2+ photosensitizer and a reductant.
