Organophosphorus nerve agents and their precursors, specifically listed in the schedules of chemicals in the Annex to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), include analogues with C1-C3 alkyl groups on phosphorus. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) requires designated laboratories to unequivocally identify isomeric propyl groups bonded to phosphorus in analytes that may be present in samples submitted for analysis. Homologous series of isomeric pairs of dialkyl iso- and n-propylphosphonates, alkyl iso- and n-propylphosphonochloridates, and alkyl iso- and n-propylphosphonofluoridates, have been analysed by liquid chromatography-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry and/or by gas chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that P-propyl isomers can be reliably differentiated by collision induced dissociation (CID) of selected fragment ions and by their infrared P=O stretching and C-H deformation frequencies.  相似文献

A simple, convenient, and direct one‐dimensional (1D) 31P NMR technique is demonstrated for the detection of alkylphosphonic acids (marker of nerve agents). The results of detection were validated after conducting various in‐house exercises. The confidence generated by this study was found very useful in detection of different alkylphosphonic acids spiked in various official interlaboratory proficiency tests conducted by Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).

The analysis of nitrogen containing amino alcohols, which are the precursors and degradation products of nitrogen mustards and nerve agent VX, constitutes an important aspect for verifying the compliance to the CWC (Chemical Weapons Convention). This work devotes on the development of solid-phase extraction method using silica- and polymer-based SCX (strong cation-exchange) and MCX (mixed-mode strong cation-exchange) cartridges for N,N-dialkylaminoethane-2-ols and alkyl N,N-diethanolamines, from water. The extracted analytes were analyzed by GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) in the full scan and selected ion monitoring modes. The extraction efficiencies of SCX and MCX cartridges were compared, and results revealed that SCX performed better. Extraction parameters, such as loading capacity, extraction solvent, its volume, and washing solvent were optimized. Best recoveries were obtained using 2 mL methanol containing 10% NH(4)OH and limits of detection could be achieved up to 5 x 10(-3) microg mL(-1) in the selected ion monitoring mode and 0.01 microg mL(-1) in full scan mode. The method was successfully employed for the detection and identification of amino alcohol present in water sample sent by Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in the official proficiency tests. The method was also applied to extract the analytes from human plasma. The SCX cartridge showed good recoveries of amino alcohols from human plasma after protein precipitation.  相似文献

The applicability of hollow-fibre liquid-phase microextraction for extracting 2-chlorovinyldichloroarsine (lewisite 1), bis(2-chlorovinyl)chloroarsine (lewisite 2), tris(2-chlorovinyl)arsine (lewisite 3) and arsenic trichloride from aqueous samples is reported. Parameters affecting the extraction efficiency of these chemicals were optimised. These parameters included the type of derivatising agent, extraction solvent, derivatisation method, pH, ionic strength, stirring speed and extraction time. A linear range between 0.002 and 0.2 μg/mL was established for the lewisites with good square regression coefficients (0.9955–0.9992). Good reproducibility with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 8 to 10 % was achieved. The limit of detection was 0.002 μg/mL for the lewisites and 0.005 μg/mL for arsenic trichloride (3:1 signal-to-noise ratio). The extraction method was validated with a proficiency test sample issued by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW). The rapidity and precision of the new method should help deter against the employment of lewisite as a chemical warfare agent: its use could be confirmed easily from analysis of aqueous samples.  相似文献

Nitrogen-containing chemicals are one of the important families of compounds relevant to the purposes of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Several applications, using various injection modes, of new deactivated columns specially designed for basic compounds are presented. These columns prove remarkably well-suited to the gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of the chemicals of interest, even to underivatized amino-alcohols, whose analysis on conventional GC columns is often difficult and hindered by poor resolution and high detection limits. Such a deactivated phase can even replace the typical GC phases used for CWC verification purposes.  相似文献

The analysis of chemical warfare agents and their degradation products is an important component of verification of compliance with the Chemical Weapons Convention. Gas and liquid chromatography, particularly combined with mass spectrometry, are the major techniques used to detect and identify chemicals of concern to the Convention. The more polar analytes, and some of the more reactive or highly volatile agents, are usually derivatised to facilitate chromatography, and to impart properties beneficial for detection. This review focuses on derivatisation reactions used in the chromatographic analysis of chemical warfare agents, their degradation products and metabolites.  相似文献

Oxidative reactions of VX type compounds and N,N-dialkylaminoethane-2-thiols that are precursors for VX compounds produce N,N-dialkylaminoethane-2-sulphonic acids, N(R(1))(R(2))-CH(2)-CH(2)SO(3)H (where R(1) and R(2) = methyl, ethyl, n-propyl and isopropyl, 1-10), as the degradation products, and these degradation products are considered as markers for the detection of chemicals listed in the schedules of Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) chemicals. Off-site detection of such degradation products in aqueous samples is an important task in the verification of CWC-related chemicals. Here we report a simple method involving the direct analysis of aqueous samples using positive and/or negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) for the screening, detection and identification of N,N-dialkylaminoethane-2-sulphonic acids, avoiding sample preparation and chromatographic steps. The positive ion ESI mass spectra of all the compounds result in abundant [M+Na](+) ions, and the negative ion spectra show abundant [M-H](-) ions to confirm their molecular weight. The collision-induced dissociation spectra of [M+Na](+) and [M-H](-) give characteristic product ions by which it is easy to detect and identify all the studied N,N-dialkylaminoethane-2-sulphonic acids including those of isomeric compounds. The method is successfully applied to detect the spiked chemical, N,N-diisopropylaminoethane-2-sulphonic acid, present in a water sample received in a proficiency test.  相似文献

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of O,O'-dialkyl methylphosphonites (DAMPs) was carried out with a view to developing a database and understanding the mechanism of fragmentation. DAMPs are included in the list of schedule 2B4 chemicals of the Chemical Weapons Convention. GC-MS analysis of DAMPs and their deuterated analogs revealed that their fragmentations were dominated by α-cleavages, alkenyl radical loss and hydrogen rearrangements. Based on fragment ions of deuterated analogs and density functional theory calculations, the fragmentation routes were rationalized.  相似文献

A standard method used by inspection teams of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for preparation of aqueous samples requires several extraction and derivatization steps. This results in tedious and time consuming on-site analysis. A simple thermal desorption–gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (TD–GC–MS) method was developed to analyse for a broad range of degradation products, impurities and precursors of chemical warfare agents (CWA) in water solutions and wet or dry organic liquid samples. The method is fast, sensitive, requires only microliter volumes of sample and enables the simultaneous determination of a wide range of compounds with widely differing polarity, volatility and reactivity. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by successful analysis of five OPCW Official Proficiency Test samples.  相似文献

Among the chemicals belonging to the schedules of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), sampling and analysis of highly volatile compounds such as hydrogen cyanide (HCN) require special consideration. The latter is present in numerous old chemical weapons that are stockpiled awaiting destruction in Northeastern France: thus, sampling on stockpile area and subsequent verification of HCN levels is compulsory to ensure safety of workers on these areas. The ability of several commercial sorbents to trap hydrogen cyanide at various concentration levels and in various humidity conditions, was evaluated. Furthermore, thermal desorption of the corresponding samples, followed by analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was also optimised. Carbosieve S-III, a molecular sieve possessing a very high specific area, proved the most efficient sorbent for HCN sampling in all conditions tested. Conversely, the presented results show that Tenax, albeit generally considered as the reference sorbent for air monitoring and analysis of CWC-related chemicals, is not suitable for HCN trapping.  相似文献

In the present paper, we report an improved ion-pair solid-phase extraction (IP-SPE) method for the analysis of alkylphosphonic acids, namely, methyl, ethyl and propylphosphonic acids, present in the aqueous sample. The aqueous sample was mixed with an ion-pair reagent, phenyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (PTMAH) and passed through activated charcoal SPE cartridge. The retained chemicals in the cartridge were extracted with methanol and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) under the electron impact ionization (EI) mode. The analytes were converted to their methyl esters by pyrolytic methylation in the hot GC injection port. The recoveries of alkylphosphonic acids were above 95% and the minimum detection limits were as low as 10 ng/mL. The recovery of the test chemicals was tested with solvents, dichloromethane, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, acetone, acetonitrile and methanol. The chemicals could be efficiently extracted by the hydrophilic solvents. The method did not work at the highly acidic pH (when acidified with dilute HCl) but worked well from pH 4.0 to 14.0. The present method was also tested with other tetra-(methyl, ethyl, propyl and n-butyl)ammonium hydroxides. The test chemicals were not converted to their methyl and ethyl esters with tetramethyl and tetraethylammonium hydroxides, whereas they were converted to their corresponding propyl and n-butyl esters with tetrapropyl and tetra(n-butyl)ammonium hydroxides. The method was also applied to two highly cross-linked polymeric sorbents DSC-6S and Oasis HLB. The recovery of the chemicals on these sorbents was observed to be poor. Methylation using phenyltrimethylammonium hydroxide is non-hazardous and advantageous over methylation using diazomethane. The method was applied to the analysis of aqueous samples given in one of the official proficiency tests conducted by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and all the spiked chemicals were identified as methyl esters.  相似文献

We describe the microsynthesis and gas chromatography/mass spectrometric (GC/MS) analysis of cyclic alkylphosphonates (CAPs), which are included in schedule 2B4 chemicals in the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). The reported microsynthesis is efficient in comparison with traditional synthesis. GC/MS and GC/tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) analysis of a variety of CAPs revealed that their fragmentations were dominated by alpha-cleavages, alkene eliminations and hydrogen rearrangements. Based on the obtained mass spectra and precursor and product ion analysis of five-, six- and seven-membered cyclic alkylphosphonates, the proposed fragmentation routes rationalize most of the characteristic ions.  相似文献

This communication describes microsynthesis and GC/MS analysis of O-alkyl N,N-dialkylphosphoramidocyanidates (ADAPCs), which are analogues of chemical warfare agent, Tabun. The study was undertaken with a view to develop spectral data base of ADAPCs for verification purpose of Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Reported microsynthetic approach has advantages over traditional synthesis in terms of efficiency, synthetic waste, and exposure to toxic chemicals. GC/MS analysis of variety of these compounds (ADAPCs) was performed. Based on the obtained mass spectra of structurally diverse ADAPCs, the fragmentation routes are proposed, which explains most of the characteristic ions.  相似文献

Analytical methods that are used for the detection and identification of chemicals related to the Chemical Weapons Convention in complex organic solutions were developed. A matrix modified by the addition of complex diesel oil background compounds and interferences was used for the development of a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry or gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS or GC-MS/MS) method for unambiguous identification of the scheduled chemicals. Co-elution of diethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidate and ethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidocyanidate, which are not separated by GC, was identified by GC-MS. Although GC-MS can identify the compounds, GC-MS/MS identification has greater accuracy and sensitivity in the case of complex matrixes. Four scheduled chemicals were accurately and selectively identified against numerous interfering substances by GC-MS/MS. The fragmentation chemistry of these compounds using MS/MS analysis was investigated.  相似文献

A proficiency testing (PT) scheme was developed for a limited number of analytical laboratories participating in the analysis of natural water in Israel. Three fit-for-intended-use reference materials (RMs) were prepared for a pilot PT from natural water: RM-blank and two in-house reference materials (IHRMs) with seven analytes fortified to achieve different levels of analyte concentrations. The measurands for the PT participants were the traceable spike values certified in the IHRMs, i.e., added mass concentrations of the analytes. The RM-blank and IHRMs were found to be homogeneous and stable over 11 days, the time necessary for the experimental part of the PT. The RMs were distributed to the PT participants as unknown test items similar to routine samples. The test results were evaluated using their deviations from the IHRM-certified values. Eight Israeli laboratories took part in the interlaboratory comparison. Individual laboratory performance and metrological compatibility of the PT results of the participants, as a local group of laboratories, were evaluated for every analyte.  相似文献

A method for evaluating qualitative proficiency testing (PT) of laboratories conducting binary tests is proposed. The method is based on the scale-invariant item response model proposed by the authors in earlier publications. We consider the case where the laboratories under the PT conduct test consisting of a set of test items/species presenting different, but unknown beforehand levels of difficulty when trying to detect a particular property of theirs, and we need to evaluate/compare both the intrinsic abilities of the participating laboratories and the level of difficulty of the test items. We assume that the responses to different test items do not affect one another and discuss how to get and interpret the most likely estimates/scores. The method is illustrated by the example presented in a recent publication by our colleagues from QuoData GmbH and can be considered as an alternative to that proposed in their publication method of scoring.  相似文献

The detection and identification of markers of scheduled chemicals plays an important role in verification analysis of Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). This paper describes the gas chromatography electron ionization mass spectrometric (GC/EI-MS) analysis of N,N-dialkylaminoethyl-2-methoxyethyl ethers (DAEMEs), which are identified as characteristic degradation markers of N,N-dialkylaminoethyl-2-chlorides. N,N-dialkylaminoethyl-2-chlorides produced DAEMEs on reacting with the universally used decontamination solution (DS-2). DAEMEs were prepared by condensation of N,N-dialkylaminoethyl-2-chlorides with 2-methoxy ethanol the active ingredient of DS-2. Based on the GC/EI-MS analysis of DAEMEs the generalized fragmentation routes are proposed which rationalize most of the characteristic ions in EI-MS.  相似文献

A soil proficiency test (PT) was administered to 50 participant laboratories in which two sets of samples, consisting of 20 yearly PT samples and 5 ‘blind’ samples in clients’ names were analyzed for pH, organic matter, total acidity, extractable calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus by the laboratories. Our objective was to determine whether laboratories take extra care to analyze clients’ samples as they do with regular PT samples. The analytical data were evaluated essentially by the procedure described in the international harmonized protocol for proficiency testing of analytical chemistry laboratories. Performance of participant laboratories was assessed by z-scores and summary z-scores statistics involving sum of squared z-scores interpreted as chi-square ( cn2 ) \left( {\chi_{n}^{2} } \right) distribution for zero-centered z-scores with unit variance. From 8 750 determinations, outliers and stragglers accounted for less than 2% of the entire data. Over 93% of the data were satisfactory, whereas between 2 and 4% were either unsatisfactory or questionable in both the PT and ‘blind’ tests. On the basis of sum of squared z-scores interpreted from cn2 \chi_{n}^{2} distribution table, between 30 and 40% of the laboratories had more than 90% probability of having their measurement data within the robust mean and standard deviation for each soil parameter, while another 30–42% of the laboratories had less than 50% probability of having measurement data within the robust mean and standard deviation. Overall, 21 laboratories (42%) were ranked in Class A either in the PT or ‘blind’ tests out of which 12 of them (57%) retained this ranking in both tests. Fourteen laboratories (28%) were ranked in Class C in either the PT or ‘blind’ tests with only 5 of them (36%) consistently ranking in this class in both tests.  相似文献
