Abstract
ABSTRACT Organophosphorus (OP) chemical warfare agents (CWAs) represent an ongoing global threat, through either purposeful environmental release or the need to dispose of historic stockpiles. This presents a need for the development of novel decontamination technologies. Due to the toxic nature and legal limitations placed on OP CWAs, the use of appropriate OP simulants that mimic the reactivity but not the toxicity of the agents themselves is vital to decontamination studies. Herein, we show that association constants derived from non-specific hydrogen bonded complexation events may be used as parameters within models to predict simulant reactivity. We also discuss the limitations that should be placed on such data. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
期刊介绍:
Supramolecular Chemistry welcomes manuscripts from the fields and sub-disciplines related to supramolecular chemistry and non-covalent interactions. From host-guest chemistry, self-assembly and systems chemistry, through materials chemistry and biochemical systems, we interpret supramolecular chemistry in the broadest possible sense. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly encouraged. Manuscript types include: high priority communications; full papers; reviews, and; Methods papers, techniques tutorials highlighting procedures and technologies that are important to the field. We aim to publish papers in a timely fashion and as soon as a paper has been accepted and typeset it will be published in electronic form on the Latest articles section of the website. The two most important review criteria are that the paper presents high-quality work that fits generally into the broad spectrum of activities in the supramolecular chemistry field. Under normal circumstances, Supramolecular Chemistry does not consider manuscripts that would be more suitable in a highly specialized journal. This includes, but is not limited to, those based mostly or exclusively on topics such as solid state/X-ray structures, computational chemistry, or electrochemistry. .
