NMR titration studies in acetonitrile-d3/DMSO-d6 mixtures demonstrate that diindolylurea-based receptors can form complexes with the organophosphorus nerve agent soman organic solution.
The formation of tren-based tris-urea supramolecular gels in organic solvents is perturbed by the presence nerve agent soman providing a new method sensing organophosphorus warfare agents.
The dansyl fluorophore ligated to gold nanoparticles via imidazole and amine groups affords conjugates capable of detecting micromolar concentrations the chemical warfare agent sulfur mustard by a fluorescence switching 'ON' displacement assay.
The inclusion complexation of the Chemical Warfare Agent soman (GD) by β-cyclodextrin is studied both experimental and computational approaches.
A series of low molecular weight tripodal amide/histidine-containing compounds (1-2) have been synthesised and shown to increase the rate bis-(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (BNPP) soman (GD) breakdown in buffered aqueous solution.
Theoretical and experimental results are presented for the pyrolytic decomposition of nerve agent sarin (GB) in gas phase. High-level quantum chemistry calculations performed together with a semiclassical transition-state theory describing mechanical tunneling. The theoretical temperature dependence survival times show very good agreement, as does calculated measured activation energy thermal decomposition. combined suggest that GB, ranging from 350 to 500 °C, goes through pericyclic...
Surface to hand transfer of viruses represents a potential mechanism for human exposure. An experimental process evaluating the touch aerosol-deposited material is described based on controlling surface, tribological, and soft matter components process. A range high-touch surfaces were evaluated. Under standardized parameters (15 N, 1 s), relative humidity (RH) atmosphere around contact event significantly influenced finger-pad. At RH < 40%, from all was <10%. Transfer efficiency...
Particle resuspension is an omnipresent source of aerosols into the environment as necessary detachment force to return particles atmosphere can arise from a variety environmental and anthropogenic mechanisms. Despite significance resuspension, phenomenon often neglected in aerosol dispersion models there limited understanding on magnitude effect its influencing factors. We provide route toward determining role particle-specific characteristics, such morphology, efficiency with aim...
