MetalN-coordinated centers supported by carbonaceous substrates have emerged as promising artificial metalloenzymes (AMEs) to mimic the biocatalytic effects of their natural counterparts. However, the synthesis of well-defined AMEs that contain different atomic metalN centers but present similar physicochemical and coordination structures remains a substantial challenge. Here, 20 different types of AMEs with similar geometries and welldefined atomic metalN-coordinated centers are synthesized to compare and disclose the catalytic activities, substrate selectivities, kinetics, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) products. Their oxidase (OXD)-, peroxidase (POD)-, and halogen peroxidase (HPO)-mimetic catalytic behaviors are systematically explored. The Fe-AME shows the highest OXD-and HPO-mimetic activities compared to the other AMEs due to its high v max (0.927 × 10 −6 m s −1 ) and low K m (1.070 × 10 −3 m), while the Cu-AME displays the best POD-like performance. Furthermore, theoretical calculation reveals that the ROS-catalytic paths and activities are highly related to the electronic structures of the metal centers. Benefiting from its facile adsorption of H 2 O 2 molecule and lower energy barrier to generating •O 2 − , the Fe-AME displays higher ROS-catalytic performances than the Mn-AME. The engineered AMEs show not only remarkably high ROS-catalytic performances but also provide new guidance toward developing metalN-coordinated biocatalysts for broad application fields.The ORCID identification number(s) for the author(s) of this article can be found under https://doi.org/10.1002/adma.202200255.
