In this study, the catalytic oxygen reduction activity of N-confused metalloporphyrins (NCPor-Ms) with N3C1-anchored single-metal-sites (SMSs) was calculated and synthesized. Among them, NCPor-Co showed the highest catalytic activity and half-wave potential. The high activity of NCPor-Co can be attributed to its electron-rich, low band gap, and regulated d-band center.
N-, C-, O-, S-coordinated single-metal-sites (SMSs) have garnered significant attention due to the potential for significantly enhanced catalytic capabilities resulting from charge redistribution. However, significant challenges persist in the precise design of well-defined such SMSs, and the fundamental comprehension has long been impeded in case-by-case reports using carbon materials as investigation targets. In this work, the well-defined molecular catalysts with N3C1-anchored SMSs, i.e., N-confused metalloporphyrins (NCPor-Ms), are calculated for their catalytic oxygen reduction activity. Then, NCPor-Ms with corresponding N-4-anchored SMSs (metalloporphyrins, Por-Ms), are synthesized for catalytic activity evaluation. Among all, NCPor-Co reaches the top in established volcano plots. NCPor-Co also shows the highest half-wave potential of 0.83 V vs. RHE, which is much better than that of Por-Co (0.77 V vs. RHE). Electron-rich, low band gap and regulated d-band center contribute to the high activity of NCPor-Co. This study delves into the examination of well-defined asymmetric SMS molecular catalysts, encompassing both theoretical and experimental facets. It serves as a pioneering step towards enhancing the fundamental comprehension and facilitating the development of high-performance asymmetric SMS catalysts.
