[CpFe II (CO) 2 (thf)](BF 4 ) may be considered as a bio-inspired model of hydrogenases. Its electrocatalytic properties for the reduction of trichloroacetic acid into dihydrogen are presented. A catalytic mechanism is proposed. This catalyst exhibits interesting properties, in particular low overvoltage (350 mV) for H 2 evolution, but it is inactivated through dimerization. Comparison with [CpFe(CO) 2 ] 2 is provided.
