VE (S-(diethylamino)ethyl O-ethyl ethylphosphonothioate) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related to the better-known VX nerve agent. It was first reported in 1958 as a pesticide. [1] Like most of the agents in the V-series (with the exception of VX), VE has not been extensively studied outside of military science. [citation needed]
VS is a nerve agent of the V-series. Its chemical structure is very similar to the VX nerve agent, but the methyl group on the phosphorus atom is replaced by an ethyl group . [ 1 ]
To date, Iraq is the only nation known to have manufactured significant quantities of cyclosarin for use as a chemical agent and to deploy it in battle. During the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988), the Iraqis used sarin and cyclosarin together as a mixture. This was likely done to obtain a more persistent chemical agent as well as in response to ...
GP is an organophosphate nerve agent of the G-series, [1] with a relatively slow rate of hydrolysis, and thus high stability and persistence in the environment. [ 2 ] References
Tetrasodium iminodisuccinate is a chelating agent, forming complexes of moderate stability (10 −16), which includes (as a pentadentate ligand) alkaline earth and polyvalent heavy metal ions with one molecule of water in an octahedral structure. [7] In 0.25% aqueous solution, a pH of 11.5 results for tetrasodium iminodisuccinate. The salt is ...
Lewisite (L) (A-243) is an organoarsenic compound.It was once manufactured in the U.S., Japan, Germany [2] and the Soviet Union [3] for use as a chemical weapon, acting as a vesicant (blister agent) and lung irritant.
