H2, O2, N2, CO, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, methanol, ethanol, propanol, for-
mate/formic acid, acetate/acetic acid, propionate/propionic acid, acet-
aldehyde and propionaldehyde. Liquid samples were acidified with
concentrated sulfuric acid (10 : 1) before injection.

Controlled potential coulometry for HER was performed in a H-type
two-compartment cell under inert atmosphere separating anodic and
cathodic space by a Nafion membrane. A standard three-electrode set-
up was used with glassy carbon working electrode (WE), Pt mesh as
counter (CE) and Ag wire as pseudo-reference electrode (RE). As sol-
vent acetonitrile with 0.1 m [(nBu)4N](PF6) as electrolyte and acetic
acid 0.1 m was used. CPC was performed at defined potential and
afterwards referenced against the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple.
Hydrogen production was quantified in an online set-up using an Ag-
ilent Technologies 7820A gas chromatograph equipped with a thermal
conductivity detector (TCD) and a flame ionization detector (FID) as
well as a methanizer. Gas separation was performed using a two-col-
umn separation system (HP-PLOT Q 3 mϫ0.53 mmϫ40 μm column
and HP-Molesieves 5 Å 30 mϫ0.53 mmϫ25 μm) using argon as car-
rier gas.

X-ray Data Collection and Structure Solution Refinement: Single
crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction experiments were analyzed either
using a Rigaku Oxford diffraction XtaLAB SuperNova equipped with
an Atlas CCD detector or a Rigaku Oxford diffraction XtaLAB Syn-
ergy-S with an HyPix-6000HE detector (Cu-Kα, λ = 1.54184 Å for
both diffractometers). The crystals were handled in perfluorinated oil,
mounted onto fiber loops and cooled by a flow of cold nitrogen (Ox-
ford Cryostream) throughout the experiments. The obtained diffraction
data was analyzed using the CrysAlisPro software package. Structure
solutions were computed using the programs ShelXS[43] (direct meth-
ods) or ShelXT[44] (intrinsic phasing) and were refined against F2 using
ShelXL.[45] Hydrogen atoms were added in calculated positions. The
program package OLEX2 [46] served as graphical interface.
