	We have investigated the role of ligand isomerism in modulating the mechanisms and kinetics associated with charge/ discharge chemistry of an aqueous metal-air battery. The dominant electron-withdrawing inductive effect (-I effect) and the diminished electron-withdrawing resonance effect (-R effect) in the alpha-NO2 isomer noticeably diminishes the rate of oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) on the catalytic Co-center. In their beta-counterpart, the cumulative -I and -R effects noticeably enhance the OER and ORR kinetics on the same catalytic Co-center. Therefore, the regioisomerism of the -NO2 functionality amplifies the kinetics of ORR/OER without influencing their mechanistic pathways. When isomeric electrocatalysts are integrated to aid the charge chemistry of a Zn-air battery, the overpotential could be decreased by similar to 250mV with beta-NO2 isomer leading to a round-trip efficiency as high as 60\%. This work contributes to the design of novel molecular platforms to target the overall round-trip efficiency of energy storage and conversion devices.</p>
