High-Temperature Decomposition of Diisopropyl Methylphosphonate (DIMP) on Alumina: Mechanistic Predictions from Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics [PDF]
The enhanced degradation of organophosphorous-based chemical warfare agents (CWAs) on metal-oxide surfaces holds immense promise for neutralization efforts; however, the underlying mechanisms in this process remain poorly understood. We utilize large-scale quantum calculations for the first time to probe the high-temperature degradation of diisopropyl ...

Degradation of Chemical Warfare Agent Nitrogen Mustard Using Ferrate (VI)
Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are one of the most toxic compounds. Degradation of CWAs using decontamination agents is one of the few ways to protect human health against the harmful effects of CWAs. A ferrate (VI)-based potential chemical warfare agent
