A comparative study of electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of 3,7,12,18-tetramethyl-2,8,13,17-tetraethylporphine (H2TMeTEtP, Etio IV), 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octaethylporphyrin (H2OEtP) and their complexes ((Cl)MTMeTEtP, (Cl)MOEtP, M=Mn(III)) was conducted by cyclic voltammetry in 0.1 M KOH. The sequence and areas of electrochemical processes were established. Values of the half-wave potentials of the first and second electroreduction processes of the π-electron macrocycle system as a whole were correlated with the increase in the length of alkyl substituents. The positive effect of increasing length of a functional substituent at β-positions in a porphine molecule on the electrocatalytic activity of the compounds in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) was established.
