We report an effective strategy to in situ construct the oxime-Ni2+ complex unit on polymeric carbon nitride (PCN) as a molecular catalyst for the highly efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The PCN was functionalized with oxime groups that allowed for immobilizing Ni2+ to form oxime-Ni2+ co...
