The detection of chemical warfare simulants is attained by the PET mechanism that gives an "off-on" fluorescent response with a half-life of approximately 50 ms upon phosphorylation of a reactive oximate functionality; the X-ray crystal structure of the oximate was also obtained and is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
