Introduction

Synthesis of a trinuclear zinc(ii) cluster composed of [4.4.3.01,5]tridecane cages: a rapid detection and degradation probe for the chemical warfare agent simulant diethyl cyanophosphonate in protein-rich food products

“…1 The mimics (simulants) of CWAs, diethyl chlorophosphate (DCP), diethyl cyanophosphonate (DCNP), and diisopropyl fluorophosphate (DFP), being nerve agents show stringent impact on the environment and human health. 2 Due to excellent volatility and easy dispersion, these toxins have become ubiquitous in different environmental matrices, especially air, water, soil, and food. 3–5 DCNP, a simulant of Tabun, is commonly used as a coupling agent in pharmaceutical industries for the production of antibiotics and sedatives.…”
