Inspired by natural enzymes, this study presents a nickel-based molecular catalyst, [Ni(NS)]Cl (NiNS, NS=2,11-dithia[3,3](2,6)pyridinophane), for the photochemical catalytic reduction of CO under visible light. The catalyst was synthesized and characterized using various techniques, including liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS), UV-Visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The crystallographic analysis revealed a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry with a mononuclear Ni cation, two nitrogen atoms and two sulfur atoms.
