IX. RESEARCH

My earlier published works completed are on molecular systems with at least one

unpaired electron-namely free radicals (both organic and inorganic) and transition

metal complexes with a d9 and a d

1 configuration. My work in general has been

directed at solving and obtaining information on three types of problems. These

include studies of:

1. Electron Polarization phenomenon in free radicals generated by photolysis of

carbonyl compounds and nuclear polarization in diamagnetic products of these

free radicals.

2. Chemical reactions of inorganic and organometallic radicals with unsaturated

organic compounds resulting in persistent free radicals.

3. Electronic structural determination of inorganic complexes by ESR spectroscopy.

While we worked along the three main areas outlined above we also applied ESR

spectroscopic technique to some local problems. Our effort of identifying and

quantify free radicals in Nigerian processed food, was to enable us study, in

collaboration with other experts, any possible relationship between free radicals in our

food, the dietary habit of Nigerians and the occurrence of certain types of cancer. The

preliminary work on spin-labelled s-hemoglobin was aimed at the development of a

powerful and rapid method of screening drugs and chemicals for their anti-sickling

properties. Unfortunately, we could not progress further because our ESR

spectrometer broke down irreparably and had not been possible to replace the

equipment.

Since 1982, we began to apply spectroscopic techniques to the problem of

environmental pollution occasioned by oil operations in Nigeria. Infrared and

electronic absorption spectroscopic techniques have been used to quantify total

hydrocarbon and various metals in water, sediment and soil samples collected from

operational areas of oil producing, oil refining and oil marketing companies. These

studies have been carried out in the content of an integrated multidisciplinary study of

environmental pollution involving chemists, botanists, zoologists, microbiologists,

plant pathologists, geophysicist and socio-economists. In this respect, I have served as

consultant chemist and environmental scientist to:

12

a. Research planning Institute Inc., Columbia, USA (1982-1985)

b. Inspectorate Division of NNPC, Lagos (1987-1989)

c. Engineering and Technical Services Division (ETSD), NNPC, Lagos (1987.1989)

d. Texaco Oil Petroleum Company of Nigeria, (1993-1994)

e. Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria, Lagos (1985 to 1999)

(b) Completed

(i) A benchmark study on the properties of unsubstituted and some substituted

polypyroles as component of biosensor. A publication submitted to

International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, USA (2015).

(ii) Ab initio studies on the molecular properties of para-Nitroaniline and its

derivatives as non-linear optical materials. A publication submitted to Journal

of Science Research, Faculty of Science, University of Ibadan, Ibadan (2015).

(c) In Progress

(i) Nigeria is the highest producer of cassava tubers in the world. The stem of the

cassava plant is used in the propagation of the plant, while the leaves are also

eaten as vegetables in some part of Africa. However there is no well

documented uses of cassava seeds. Yet each cassava plant produces a sizeable

amount of seeds which are invariably wasted when the cassava tuber is

harvested.

We are currently working to provide answers to some of the following

questions:

Is the cassava seed edible?

What are the chemical composition of the cassava seed?

What are the characteristics and uses of cassava seed oil?

(ii) Rural Nigerians depend on kerosene for cooking and lighting. The cost of

kerosene has gone up so much that ordinary Nigerians in the rural area, now

more and more, are depending on woods and charcoal as alternative sources of

fire for cooking. This practice is ecologically unfriendly.

13

We have started looking at the production of biokerosene from Nigerian non-

edible vegetable oils, in order to provide an alternative source to hydrocarbon-

sourced kerosene.

(iii) We are studying the isolation and characterization of products of

photochemical reactions between some silanes and para-quinones in di-tert

butyl peroxide. We are hoping that we might be able to produce a polymer

which might be useful as photo-electronic sensors.

(d) Dissertation and Thesis

(i) Application of Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy: Spin Adducts of

Phenyl t-butyl nitrone and their decomposition. (1973), - A thesis submitted to

the Department of Chemistry, Queen’s University, for the degree of Master of

Science.

(ii) Photochemically Induced Magnetic Polarization: Studies of para-quinine

systems (1976), - A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy,

Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
