Decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents by Novel Oximated Acrylate Copolymer

A novel acrylate copolymer, polymethylacrylate-β-(bromoacetyl ethyl)ester-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide[P(MABE-co-DMAA)] was synthesized by the copolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and methylacrylate-β-(bromoacetyl ethyl)ester. Subsequently, the copolymer was oximated by 4-pyridinium aldoxime(4-PAM), and was abbreviated as PAM-P(MABE-co-DMAA). A maximum oxime conversion of 53.7% was obtained. The as-prepared oximated copolymer PAM-P(MABE-co-DMAA) effectively decontaminated chemical warfare agents(CWAs) including methylphosphonofluoridate(sarin or GB), S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl O-ethyl methylphosphonothioate (VX), and 2,2'-dichloroethyl sulfide(sulfur mustard, or HD). The detoxification rates were 90.6% for GB, 85.7% for VX, and 90.5% for HD. Chromogenic analysis, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC/MS) were used to identify the decontamination products, and the decontamination mechanism was concluded to be a combination of nucleophilic substitution and a second order Beckmann rearrangement. Furthermore, the active decontamination materials, such as decontamination cloths and covers could be made from the oximated copolymer by virtue of its processability, as well as its strong ability to degrade CWA.     

Agile Detection of Chemical Warfare Agents by Machine Vision: a Supramolecular Approach

The supramolecular detection by image analysis of a simulant chemical warfare agent on a solid device containing a selective molecular sensor based on a BODIPY scaffold is reported. The recognition properties were investigated in solution, demonstrating high affinity (log K 6.60) and sensitivity (LOD 10 ppt). A test strip also confirmed the sensing properties in gas phase. Image analysis of the solid device allows quantitative information about the simulant to be obtained, recovering the sensor almost 5 times and thus confirming the goal of the supramolecular approach.     

Broad‐Spectrum Liquid‐ and Gas‐Phase Decontamination of Chemical Warfare Agents by One‐Dimensional Heteropolyniobates

A wide range of chemical warfare agents and their simulants are catalytically decontaminated by a new one‐dimensional polymeric polyniobate (P‐PONb), K₁₂[Ti₂O₂][GeNb₁₂O₄₀]?19 H₂O ( KGeNb ) under mild conditions and in the dark. Uniquely, KGeNb facilitates hydrolysis of nerve agents Sarin (GB) and Soman (GD) (and their less reactive simulants, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP)) as well as mustard (HD) in both liquid and gas phases at ambient temperature and in the absence of neutralizing bases or illumination. Three lines of evidence establish that KGeNb removes DMMP, and thus likely GB/GD, by general base catalysis: a) the k(H₂O)/k(D₂O) solvent isotope effect is 1.4; b) the rate law (hydrolysis at the same pH depends on the amount of P‐PONb present); and c) hydroxide is far less active against the above simulants at the same pH than the P‐PONbs themselves, a critical control experiment.

Supramolecular Sensing of a Chemical Warfare Agents Simulant by Functionalized Carbon Nanoparticles

Real-time sensing of chemical warfare agents by optical sensors is today a crucial target to prevent terroristic attacks by chemical weapons. Here the synthesis, characterization and detection properties of a new sensor, based on covalently functionalized carbon nanoparticles, are reported.

The nanostructure of the sensor combined with the supramolecular sensing approach leads to high binding constant affinity, high selectivity and the possibility to reuse the sensor.

Targeting Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents at the Molecular Level

After the September 11 tragedies of 2001, scientists and law‐enforcement agencies have shown increasing concern that terrorist organizations and their “rogue” foreign government‐backers may resort to the use of chemical and/or biological agents against U.S. military or civilian targets. In addition to the right mix of policies, including security measures, intelligence gathering and training for medical personnel on how to recognize symptoms of biochemical warfare agents, the major success in combating terrorism lies in how best to respond to an attack using reliable analytical sensors. The public and regulatory agencies expect sensing methodologies and devices for homeland security to be very reliable. Quality data can only be generated by using analytical sensors that are validated and proven to be under strict design criteria, development and manufacturing controls. Electrochemical devices are ideally suited for obtaining the desired analytical information in a faster, simpler, and cheaper manner compared to traditional (lab‐based) assays and hence for meeting the requirements of decentralized biodefense applications. This articler presents a review of the major trends in monitoring technologies for chemical and biological warfare (CBW) agents. It focuses on research and development of sensors (particularly electrochemical ones), discusses how advances in molecular recognition might be used to design new multimission networked sensors (MULNETS) for homeland security. Decision flow‐charts for choosing particular analytical techniques for CBW agents are presented. Finally, the paths to designing sensors to meet the needs of today's measurement criteria are analyzed.

Detection of Chemical Warfare Nerve Agents via a Beckmann Fragmentation of Aldoxime

Abstract

A new (E)-pyrene-1-carbaldehyde O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl oxime 3 was synthesized for the detection of chemical warfare nerve agents, O-isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GB) and O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (GD). ¹H NMR spectrum showed that the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group was deprotected using TBAF and the oximate supernucleophile was made. Upon addition of chemical warfare agents (GB and GD) (50 mol%), the reaction was completely finished within 5 min and also the color change of reaction mixture was observed under a hand-held UV lamp with the naked eye.     

Semi-continuous High Speed Gas Analysis of Generated Vapors of Chemical Warfare Agents

A method is presented for the continuous analysis of generated vapors of the nerve agents soman and sarin and the blistering agent sulfur mustard. By using a gas sampling valve and a very short (15 cm) column connected to an on-column injector with a “standard length” column, the system can either be calibrated or used for performing high speed gas analyses. When using a flame ionization detector, the detection limit was ca. 100 ppb (ca. 0.5–1.0 mg/m³). This technique is applied in inhalation toxicokinetic studies of nerve agents and mustard gas in the guinea pig.

Ion-Pair Single-Drop Microextraction Determinations of Degradation Products of Chemical Warfare Agents in Water

Ion-pair single-drop microextraction (SDME) coupled to gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy (GC–MS) methods for the determination of four degradation products of chemical warfare agents were investigated in water. Acidic analytes were converted into their ion-pair complexes with cation surfactants in aqueous sample and then extracted into the organic single drop containing the derivatising agent. Upon injection, the analytes were derivatised in the GC injection hot port. Parameters, such as type of extraction solvent, ion-pairing (IP) reagent, reagent concentration, salt concentration, stirring speed and pH, were all optimized. This method is reproducible for spiked water sample for four different analytes (RSDs < 9.33 %, n = 5) and linear (r ² > 0.9945). The limit of detection (LOD) is in the range of 0.08–0.01 ng mL^?1 (S/N = 5) under GC–MS selected ion monitoring mode. The method was successfully applied to the proficiency test samples from the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
