Abstract:
Herein, two diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based, small-molecule isomers, o- and p-DPP-PhCN, were introduced as acceptors in ternary organic solar cells (OSCs). The isomers have the same molecular backbone but differ in the positions of the cyanide (CN) substituents (ortho and para), which greatly affects their packing behavior. Ternary solar cells composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):DPP-PhCN:phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were fabricated, and the effects of the different packing behaviors of the third component on the device performance and the working mechanism of the ternary cells were investigated. The addition of o-DPP-PhCN with a relatively high-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level resulted in an increase in the open-circuit voltage (VOC) in the ternary devices, demonstrating the alloy-like structure of the two acceptors (o-DPP-PhCN and PCBM) in the ternary system. However, the p-DPP-PhCN-based ternary cells exhibited VOC values similar to that of a P3HT:PCBM binary cell, irrespective of the addition of p-DPP-PhCN, indicating a cascade energy-level structure in the ternary system and an effective charge transfer from the P3HT to the PCBM. Importantly, by increasing the addition of p-DPP-PhCN, the short-circuit current density increased substantially, resulting in pronounced shoulder peaks in the external quantum efficiency responses in the long-wavelength region, corresponding to the contribution of the photocurrent generated by the light absorption of p-DPP-PhCN. Despite sharing the same molecular backbone, the two DPP-PhCNs exhibited substantially different packing behaviors according to the position of their CN substituents, which also greatly affected the working mechanism of the ternary devices fabricated using the DPP-PhCNs as the third component.

Abstract:
This study investigated the influence of host community on industrial relations practices and policies using Agbara community and Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC as a case. The study adopted both the qualitative and quantitative methods. A total of 120 samples were drawn from the population using the simple random sampling technique in which case every member of the population was given an equal and independent chance of being chosen. However, 75 questionnaires were returned upon which the data analysis was based. This was supplemented with the interwiew method. The response rate is 62.5%. With respect to the reliability of the instrument, the coefficient alpha or Cronbachs alpha is 0.73, which implies that the instrument is 73% reliable. The data analysis was carried out with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The Chi-square statistical technique was used to test the hypotheses at 5% level of significance. In testing the first hypothesis that PHCN industrial relations policies and practices are independent of its host community, the following variables were subjected to Chi-square test: 1) PHCN industrial relations policies are influenced by public opinion through the use of suggestion schemes (?2= 33.07 with 4 df; p < .05) and 2) customs/traditions of host community influence PHCN industrial relations policies (?2 = 60.93 with 4 df; p < .05). In testing the second hypothesis, the result of the chi-square test shows that an inclusive stakeholders approach is often used in resolving matters of mutual interest involving host community and PHCN (?2 = 54.23 with 3 df; p < .05). These results are statistically significant. Therefore, there is evidence to reject the null hypotheses and to conclude that PHCN industrial relations policies and practices are dependent or contingent on its host community. PHCN industrial relations policies and practices are influenced by its host community. The authors therefore recommend the inclusion of the host community as one of the actors in industrial relations. This was relegated to the background by Dunlop (1958) in his categorization of actors in industrial relations.

Abstract:
The problems facing the Power Holding Company of Nigeria PLC (PHCN) which was formerly called the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), are numerous to the extent that every power electric engineer both in the industrial sector and in academic is being challenged to proffer possible solutions. In an attempt, to combat some of these problems, this paper is therefore focused on a problem, affecting frequent power interruption to consumers during rainy season by PHCN. A research carried out before now ascertained that more than 500 hours were lost annually on power interruptions due to lightning discharge in various substations throughout the country during rainy season. Therefore, this paper has suggested the use of double lightning arresters instead of one, for the protection of industrial and domestic electrical installation work. It recommended the use of Thyrite or Oriaghe low voltage lightning arrester to prospective power consumers for domestic application. Also, for the high voltage protection it recommended the use of the high voltage Thyrite lightning arrester for lightning discharge protection of transformers and switch gears, used by PHCN.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Comamonas testosteroni strain R5 expresses a higher level of phenol-oxygenating activity than any other bacterial strain so far characterized. The expression of the operon encoding multicomponent phenol hydroxylase (mPH), which is responsible for the phenol-oxygenating activity, is controlled by two transcriptional regulators, PhcS and PhcR, in strain R5. In this study, we identified a third transcriptional regulator for the mPH operon (PhcT) that belongs to the AraC/XylS family. While the disruption of phcT in strain R5 significantly reduced the expression of the mPH operon, it did not eliminate the expression. However, the disruption of phcT in strain R5 increased the expression of phcR. The phenol-oxygenating activity was abolished by the disruption of phcR, indicating that PhcT alone was not sufficient to activate the expression of the mPH operon. The disruption of phcS has been shown in our previous study to confer the ability of strain R5 to express the mPH operon in the absence of the genuine substrate for mPH. PhcT was not involved in the gratuitous expression. Strain R5 thus possesses a more elaborate mechanism for regulating the mPH operon expression than has been found in other bacteria.

The crystal structures of Cr(PhCN)2 (2), (PhCN)Cr(PhCH3) (3) and (PhCN)Cr(PhCF3) (4) prepared by means of the Metal Vapor Synthesis (MVS) technique have been determined. Compounds (2), (3) and (4) crystallize as discrete sandwich complexes having intrinsic C 2v (mm2), C s (m) and C 1(1) symmetries, respectively. The X-ray diffraction study has revealed a synperiplanar conformation for (2) and (3), and a synclinal conformation for (4) with a torsion angle (C ipso 1–Centroid1–Centroid2–C ipso 2) of φ = 63.5°. The angles between the ligand planes are 2.2, 3.9 and 1.8°, respectively. The Cr atom is slightly (by 0.04–0.06 Å) displaced towards the substituents from the line connecting the centers of the opposite aromatic rings. The Cr—C ipso distances are 2.115 (2)–2.137 (2), 2.112 (2) and 2.185 (3) Å for CN, CF3 and CH3 groups, respectively. The CN groups as well as the H atoms lie out of the C 6 ring planes and are bent towards the Cr atom, but the C atom of the CH3 group also lying out of the C6 ring plane is bent away from the Cr atom. The C atom of the CF3 group is essentially coplanar to the C 6 ring plane. There are no unusual intermolecular contacts in the structures of (2)–(4).

Abstract:
ABSTRACT The Polycomb group (PcG) gene products form multimeric protein complexes and contribute to anterior-posterior (A-P) specification via the transcriptional regulation of Hox cluster genes. The Drosophila polyhomeotic genes and their mammalian orthologues, Phc1, Phc2, and Phc3, encode nuclear proteins that are constituents of evolutionarily conserved protein complexes designated class II PcG complexes. In this study, we describe the generation and phenotypes of Phc2-deficient mice. We show posterior transformations of the axial skeleton and premature senescence of mouse embryonic fibroblasts associated with derepression of Hox cluster genes and Cdkn2a genes, respectively. Synergistic actions of a Phc2 mutation with Phc1 and Rnf110 mutations during A-P specification, coimmunoprecipitation of their products from embryonic extracts, and chromatin immunoprecipitation by anti-Phc2 monoclonal antibodies suggest that Hox repression by Phc2 is mediated through the class II PcG complexes, probably via direct binding to the Hox locus. The genetic interactions further reveal the functional overlap between Phc2 and Phc1 and a strict dose-dependent requirement during A-P specification and embryonic survival. Functional redundancy between Phc2 and Phc1 leads us to hypothesize that the overall level of polyhomeotic orthologues in nuclei is a parameter that is critical in enabling the class II PcG complexes to exert their molecular functions.

Abstract:
The paper explores power quality disturbances on a specified section of the distribution network of a Textile Industry in Kaduna State of Nigeria. The 33kV PHCN incoming to the industry is stepped down to 11kV by a 7.5MVA, 33/11kV three-phase transformer. This transformer supplies various 11/.415kV transformers present in the distribution network. Another 11kV PHCN incoming is used in event of any failure from the 33/11kV transformer. The paper focuses on Transformer No. 1, a 150kVA, 11/.415kV three-phase transformer operating at 0.9 power factor, located at printing and dying (P/D) building 1. Majority of the loads on it are inductive. Measurements were taken at the secondary terminal of this transformer by the use of the Harmonitor 3000 power analyzer, which generates the voltage and current waveforms, power factor, voltage and current total harmonic distortion and the apparent power of the red, yellow and blue phases of the transformer. Analyses of these data reveal the disturbances due to harmonics in the phases and neutral of the transformer. The effect of the harmonic current is seen as poor power factor of the transformer. Considering the observations and analyses of the power quality of the transformer 1 (P/D), the paper proposes some recommendations for improving the power quality of the distribution network under study.

In this work EC based on extracellular compounds of Humphreya coffeata and pectin (PHC) were elaborated and characterized through testing on strawberries. Two PHC types were obtained (PHC1, which settled, and PHC2, which floated during the first separation). The conservation period of the strawberry and the phenol content and antioxidant activity in strawberries with the EC were determined. Four EC were prepared (EC1, EC2, EC3, and EC4), in which EC1 did not contain any PHC, EC2 contained PHC1, EC3 contained PHC2, and EC4 contained both PHCs. Three EC types (EC2, EC3, and EC4) delayed the decay of strawberries approximately 90% at 20 °C during the first 10 days of evaluation, and at 4 °C the effect was between 75 and 90% after 25 days of experimentation. However, EC3 and EC4, both of which contained PHC2, presented the best results. The content of total phenols (approximately 55 mg (gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/mL) and the free radical scavenging activity were 35% with ABTS (2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) and 75% with DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) in strawberries with EC. Thus, EC are an alternative for preserving strawberries without losing their antioxidant capacity.

Abstract:
A series of free-base corroles with different electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents were reacted with piperidine, 4-aminopyridine, 2-methylimidazole, 2-aminopyridine or pyridine in PhCN and the UV-visible spectral changes monitored during conversion of ( Cor ) H 3 to [( Cor ) H 2]- as a function of the concentration and strength of the added organic base. Analysis of the UV-visible spectral changes as a function of the added base concentration enabled calculation of equilibrium constants ( logK ) for deprotonation of each corrole under the given experimental conditions. Relationships are examined between the experimentally measured logK values and previously published spectroscopic and structural properties of the compounds.

Cyclic and bicyclic sulfates have been prepared from commonly available alcohols. Nucleophilic cleavage of the cyclic sulfates affords a new type of water-soluble mono- and ditertiary phophines bearing -OSO3Li groups in distinguished positions in the molecular framework. Both phosphines have amphiphilic character. Reactions of the chiral 2 and the dppp analogue 5 with [Rh(COD)Cl]2 and Pt(PhCN)2Cl2 provide novel zwitterionic complexes. Rhodium complexes of 2 and 5 have been successfully applied in liquid biphasic hydroformylation of styrene and octene-1. When the rhodium complex of 5 was used as catalyst in hydroformylation of styrene, less then 4 ppm rhodium could be detected in the organic phase.Key words: cyclic sulfates, water soluble phosphines, amphiphilic character, Rh complexes, Pt complexes, hydroformylation.

Full text
Abstract:
In this paper, the structure of the Nigerian power sector is examined, the problems in the structure are identified and a new structure is proposed for effective power generation, transmission and distribution. Besides the problems usually canvassed, the current structure is defective from the perspective of the ownership of the power infrastructures, passive involvement of state governments and undue influence of the federal government. The reforms in the sector were driven by the Electric Power Sector Reform Act (EPSRA) of 2005, leading to the creation of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) to take both the assets and the liabilities of the then National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), and the subsequent unbundling of PHCN to 18 successor companies – 6 power generating companies, one power transmission company and 11 power distribution companies. The new structure proposed in this work gives room for every state government to own power plants and distribute power in the various states. They can equally buy power from independent power producers. Power plants owned by the federal government in the present structure are to continue sending power to the national grid and made available to states with insufficient power generation in the new structure. Independent power producers can also send power to the national grid. The federal government will continue managing power transmission in the new structure. Each state government will own at least two power distribution companies in partnership with private organizations who will equally have a stake in the ownership of the power generating plants. The tariff of grid-connected power will be higher, encouraging states to go into active power generation. The new structure will enable the federal government to do away with rural electrification programme and other power generation options regulated by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission which should be under the control of various state governments. New laws are needed in the place of the EPSRA to achieve the new structure. The federal government will make money from the proposed structure instead of spending huge sums of money in the present structure.

Abstract:
In determining the correct operation of relays of a protection scheme, proper representation of instrument transformers and their behavior in conditions where there can be saturation, is very critical. The main objective of this paper is to develop simulation model for assessing the operational performance of Current Transformer (CT). In order to test the validity of the developed model, three cases of CT operational conditions were considered, with data collected from Gombe, 330/132/33kV PHCN substation. The simulation results revealed various configuration performance responses that could affect relay protective schemes to different degrees. The CT responses revealed that the secondary current and voltage were distorted when the core flux linkages exceeded the set 9.2 pu saturation limit. It is concluded that the model developed for the CT of interest yield satisfactory results.

Abstract:
The long-chain phosphine Me2PC≡C(p-C6H4CHNR C8) [L; RC8 = p-C6H4OC(O)(p-C6H4OC8H17)] has been prepared in two steps starting from 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde (1): (a) condensation of 1 with H2NRC8 (2) afforded the corresponding imine 3 (yield 86%) which displays liquid-crystalline behaviour; (b) deprotonation of 3 with LiNPri2 and subsequent reaction with Me2PCl gave a mixture of the phosphine–alkyne L and the precursor 3 (L : 3 = 60 : 40). Reaction of this mixture with [PtCl2(PhCN)2] produced cis-[PtCl2L2] (4) and provided an efficient means of separating the phosphine from 3. The crystal structure of imine 3 has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and analysis of this structure provides a basis for understanding both the mesogenic character of 3 and its absence in the complex 4.

Abstract In this work, the application of the thiol-functionalized epoxy resin encapsulated on magnetic core as supports for palladium catalysts is reported. The study focuses on obtaining of heterogeneous catalysts which can be separated by magnetic field. Palladium complex catalyst [PdCl2(PhCN)2] has been heterogenized by anchoring to these supports via ligand exchange reaction. The characterization of polymeric supports and heterogenized palladium catalysts has involved research methods like time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and nitrogen BET surface area measurements. The activity and stability during long-term use of the investigated catalytic systems were tested in a Heck and hydrogenation reaction. The influence of the type of thiols used as epoxy hardeners and the morphology of the supports on the catalytic properties of epoxy-supported palladium catalysts was discussed.

The paper investigates the quality of power supply to the Corporate Headquarters of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), PLC, Maitama, Abuja. This was facilitated by the measurements conducted using the harmonitor 3000 power analyzer on the secondary terminals of the two (2) 1000kVA, 11kV three-phase transformers serving the Company. The data on the network consisting of voltages, currents, power factor and harmonic distortion were acquired by the Harmonitor. Analysis of these data shows that there is significantly high variation between the minimum and the maximum voltage and that the phase loads are unbalanced. There is low power factor and the total harmonic distortions (THD) on the phases and neutral are high. The causes of the poor quality of power supply were identified and recommendations proposed taking into cognizance the complexity and sensitivity of the equipment in the network.

An electron donor–acceptor supramolecular complex was formed between an anionic zinc chlorin carboxylate ( ZnCh -) and lithium-ion-encapsulated [60]fullerene ( Li +@ C 60) by an electrostatic interaction in benzonitrile ( PhCN ). Photoinduced electron transfer in the supramolecular complex of ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60 resulted in the formation of the charge-separated state via electron transfer from the triplet excited state of ZnCh - to Li +@ C 60. We report herein photovoltaic cells using ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60 nanoclusters, which are assembled on the optically transparent electrode (OTE) of nanostructured SnO 2 (OTE/ SnO 2). The photoelectrochemical behavior of the nanostructured SnO 2 film of supramolecular nanoclusters of ZnCh - and Li +@ C 60 denoted as OTE/ SnO 2/( ZnCh -/ Li +@ C 60)n is significantly higher than the single component films of ZnCh - or Li +@ C 60 clusters, denoted as OTE/ SnO 2/( ZnCh -)n or OTE/ SnO 2/( Li +@ C 60)n.

Palladium (II) complex containing picoline thiourea (Pd-PTu) was prepared by reacting bis (benzonitrile) palladium (II) chloride (Pd-PhCN) with N’-2-(5-picolyl)-N-4-bromobenzoylthiourea (PTu). All synthesized compounds have been characterized via several selected typical spectroscopic and analytical techniques namely elemental analysis, Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H and 13C NMR) and gas chromatography-flame ionization detector (GC-FID). For Pd-PTu, IR spectrum showed significant shift in the ν (C=N) on the pyridine ring and ν (C=S) stretching vibration at around 30cm-1 compared to the free ligand. The finding indicated that the expected coordination of ligand to the palladium metal centre took place via N and S atoms. The catalytic reaction was monitored using GC-FID with conversion of 83.81 %, proved that Pd-PTu can be used as an ideal homogenous catalyst in any Heck cross-coupling reactions in the near future.

: A series of palladium(II) complexes incorporating 1-substituted-3-methyl-3- phospholenes as the P-ligands were prepared from phospholene oxides by deoxygenation followed by complexation with PdCl2(PhCN)2. The two 1-substituted-3-methyl-3- phospholene ligands were trans position to each other in the Pd(II)-complexes. As the ligands contain a P-stereogenic center, the Pd-complexes were obtained as a 1:1 mixture of two stereoisomers, the homochiral (R,R and S,S) and the meso (R,S) forms, when racemic starting materials were used. An optically active Pd-complex containing (R)-1-propyl- 3-phospholene ligand was also prepared. Catalytic activity of an aryl- and an alkyl-3- phospholene-palladium(II)-complex was evaluated in hydroalkoxycarbonylation of styrene. The alkyl-derivative showed higher activity and selectivity towards the formation of the esters of 3-phenylpropionic acid. However, the overall activity of these PdCl2(phospholene)2-type complexes was low.

We have newly constructed supramolecular photovoltaic cells using inclusion complexes of lithium-ion-encapsulated [60]fullerene ( Li +@ C 60) and cyclic porphyrin dimers (M-CPDPy, M = H 4 and Ni 2). First, supramolecular inclusion complexes of Li +@ C 60 and M-CPDPy were prepared in MeCN/PhCN (3/1, v/v) by rapid injection method. The molecular aggregates with spherical nanoparticles demonstrated a broad absorption property in the visible region. The macroscopic structures were also estimated to be ca. 200 nm in diameter by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. The photoelectrochemical solar cells composed of these assemblies on nanostructured SnO 2 electrode were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition method. The photoelectrochemical behavior of the nanostructured SnO 2 film of supramolecular nanoassemblies of Li +@ C 60 and M-CPDPy is significantly higher than those of the single component films ( Li +@ C 60 or M-CPDPy) and supramolecular inclusion complexes of pristine C 60 and M-CPDPy.

Abstract:
Six meso-substituted tetraundecylporphyrins were prepared in high yield using an improved synthetic method and then characterized by electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry as well as UV-vis, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The examined compounds are represented as (TUP)M where M = H2, ZnII, CuII, NiII, PdII or MnIIICl and TUP is the dianion of a porphyrin having undecyl groups (-CH2(CH2)9CH3) on the four meso-positions of the macrocycle. Two oxidations are observed for each compound in CH2Cl2 and PhCN containing 0.1 M TBAP, leading to the stepwise formation of π-cation radicals and dications. The free-base and MnIIICl derivatives undergo two reductions but only one reversible reduction is seen for the other porphyrins under the given solution conditions. Comparisons are made between the electrochemical behavior of the (TUP)M derivatives and two related series of porphyrins, (TPP)M and (OEP)M. The effect of substituents on the meso-positions of the TUP macrocycle is also discussed.

Abstract:
In this study, a synthetic procedure for unsymmetrical metallophthalocyanines of the form M[Pc(AB3)], where A and B refer to two different types of peripheral functionality, has been developed and the new compounds have been converted to monomeric and dimeric palladium complexes. Asymmetrically substituted phthalocyanines were synthesized with the well-known statistical condensation method, by using two differently substituted precursors, namely 4-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-1-2-dicyanobenzene (1) and 4-{4-[Z/E]-phenylazo]-1-naphthyl}oxy-1,2-dicyanobenzene (2). Consequently, electron-donating 2-ethoxyethoxy groups and electron-withdrawing palladium complex are present in the same structure. Cyclopalladation was performed with [Pd(PhCN)2Cl2] to yield the bis-μ-chloro-bridged dimers and subsequently, the corresponding monomers were obtained by refluxing with three equivalents of potassium acetylacetonate. The resulting products were purified by column chromatography and characterized by several chemical and spectroscopic analysis methods. All compounds have very high solubility in organic solvents due to the presence of 2-ethoxyethoxy moiety.

Abstract:
Constant power supply is the hallmark of a devel-oped economy. Any nation whose energy need is epileptic in supply, prolongs her development and risks losing potential investors. Nigeria, a country of over 120 million people, has for the past 33 years of establishment of the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) agency empowered with the elec-tricity generation, transmission and distribution, wit-nessed frequent and persistent outages. Presently, the federal government has embarked on power sector reforms with the intention of improving the above unpalatable scenario and in turn reduce the scope of monopoly control of the nation’s power industry. This paper therefore looks at the overall power sector reforms as well as evaluates the opportunities and challenges there from; while advocating introduction of a demand side manage-ment (DSM) program by Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) as a way of reducing energy con-sumption among customers with emphasis on ener-gy conservation, energy efficiency and load man-agement.
