New Iron Polyoxometalate - Based Catalysts for Decontamination of HD and G Agents

Abstract

Recently developed iron containing polyoxometalates (POMs) are the most reactive catalysts yet for the rapid aerobic oxidation/ decontamination of mustard (HD) and the optimal simulant for HD, 2-chlorethyl ethyl sulfide, CEES. Only the ambient environment is required (air at room temperature). Turnover rates are high, selectivity to the desired sulfoxide is ~100%, and the most recent catalyst is very stable.
