Abstract

Abstract : Me-DABCOF, a mild universal, non-corrosive, water-soluble decontamination agent that effectively neutralizes chemical warfare agents (HD, VX). Abstract : The ability of mono N -methyl-1, 4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane fluoride (Me-DABCOF, 1 ) to act as a bifunctional reagent that effectively and universally neutralizes both the persistent and extremely toxic blister agent HD and the nerve agent VX in nearly neutral aqueous solution, alumina powder or a hydrogel formulation, is described.
