Abstract
The invention relates to degradation of organophosphate neurotoxins with molybdenum complexes. In particular, the degradation of phosphate ester neurotoxins can be performed with molybdenum peroxo complexes resulting in recoverable phosphorus-containing compounds.
Claims19
A system for degrading a phosphate ester comprising:
- a molybdenum(VI) complex comprising one or more monomers of the following formula:
- wherein L is a carbon-based support;
