As Ni(ii) complexes are generally considered inert toward O2, their utilization for catalytic oxygenation reactions is extremely rare. Here, the authors introduce an electrocatalytic method for the oxidation of sulfides based on bipyridine complexes of simple Ni(ii) salts using water as the oxygen source.
