The coordination complexes based on MX₄(M=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, et al, X=N, S, Se, et al.) structure have attracted a lot of attentions due to their novel structure and good electrocatalytic performance in hydrogen evolution reaction(HER). This review shows the recent research progresses of their catalytic properties for HER. The HER activities of MX₄ catalysts are affected by many factors, such as the metal center, coordination atoms, the ligand, the morphology and size of catalysts. Theoretical calculations are very helpful for understanding their influences on the activities of the catalysts and can further help us design more catalysts with higher activities.
