The catalytic oxidation reaction of several cycloolefins in $CH_2Cl_2$ have been investigated using non-redox metalloporphyrin(M = Ga(III), In(III) and TI(III) complexes as a catalyst and sodium hypochlorite as a terminal oxidant. Porphyrins were $(p-CH_3O)$TPP, $(p-CH_3)$TPP, TPP, (p-F)TPP, (p-Cl)TPP and $(F_{20})$TPP (TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin) and olefins were cyclopentene, cyclohexene, cycloheptene and cyclooctene, The substrate conversion yield(%) was investigated according to the radius effect of non-redox metal ion, substituent effect and hindrance effect of metalloporphyrin. The conversion yield of cycloolefin was in the following order : $C_5$ < $C_6$ < $C_7$ = $C_8$.

The catalytic oxidations of several olefins in $CH_2Cl_2$ have been investigated using non-redox metalloporphyrin (M=Ga(III), In(III), Tl(III)) complexes as catalyst and sodium hypochlorite as terminal oxidant. Porphyrins were $(p-CH_3O)TPP,\;(p-CH_3)TPP,\;TPP,\;(p-F)TPP,\;(p-Cl)TPP\;and\;(F_20)TPP$ (TPP=tetraphenylporphyrin), and olefins were $(p-CH_3O)-,\;(p-CH_3)-,\;(p-H)-,\;(p-F)-,\;(p-Cl)-\;and\;(p-Br)styrene$styrene and cyclopentene and cyclohexene. The substrate conversion yield was discussed according to the substituent effects of metalloporphyrin and substrate, and the radius effect of non-redox metal ion. The conversion yield of substrate by changing the substituent of TPP increased in the order of $p-CH_3O$ < $p-CH_3$ < H < p-F < p-Cl, which was consistent with the sequence of $4{\sigma}$ values of TPP. But the substituent effect of substrate on the conversion yield decreased with increasing the ${\sigma}^+$ values on substrates in the order of p-CH3O > p-CH3 > H > p-Cl > p-Br. For the oxidation of several olefins, the complexes of In(III)- and Tl(III)-porphyrins turned out to be more active catalysts than Ga(III)-porphyrin.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), developed two decades ago, are considered to be an attractive technology among various photovoltaic devices because of their low cost, accessible dye chemistry, ease of fabrication, high power conversion efficiency, and environmentally friendly nature. A typical DSSCs consists of a dye-coated $TiO_2$ photoanode, a redox electrolyte, and a platinum (Pt)-coated fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) counter electrode. Among them, redox electrolytes have proven to be extremely important in improving the performance of DSSCs. Due to many drawbacks of iodide electrolytes, many research groups have paid more attention to seeking other alternative electrolyte systems. With regard to this, one-electron outer sphere redox shuttles based on cobalt complexes have shown promising results: In 2014, porphyrin dye (SM315) with the cobalt (II/III) redox couple exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 13% in DSSCs. In this review, we will provide an overview and perspectives of cobalt redox electrolytes in DSSCs.
