However, the stability of these molecular catalysts in acidic media is poor. This study explores whether demetalation through proton ex- change causes these metal macrocyclic catalysts to be unstable in acidic media. We first present a theoretical scheme for investigating exchange reactions of metal ions in metal macrocyclic com- pounds with protons in acidic media. The equilibrium concentrations of metal ions in solution when various metalloporphyrins (MPs) and metallophthalocyanines (MPcs) are brought into contact with a strongly acidic solution (pH = 1) were then estimated using density functional theory calculations; these values were used to evaluate the stability of these metal macrocyclic compounds against demetalation in acidic media, The results show that Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu phthalocyanines and porphy- rins have considerable resistance to exchange with protons, whereas Cr, Mn, and Zn phthalocya- nines and porphyrins easily undergo demetalation through ion exchange with protons, This sug- gests that the degradation in the ORR activity of Fe and Co macrocyclic molecular catalysts and of carbon materials doped with Fe(Co) and nitrogen, which are believed to have metal-nitrogen coor- dination structures similar to those of macrocyclic molecules as ORR catalytic centers, is not the result of replacement of metal ions by protons. The calculation results show that electron-donating substituents could enhance the stability of Fe and Co phthalocyanines.展开更多
