Heterogeneous single-site catalysts consist of isolated, well-defined, active sites that are
spatially separated in a given solid and, ideally, structurally identical. In this review, the …

Since chlorine gas was first used in chemical warfare at Ypres, Belgium, in World War I
(WWI), the threat posed to military, civilian, and industrial personnel has continuously …

Chemical warfare agents containing phosphonate ester bonds are among the most toxic
chemicals known to mankind. Recent global military events, such as the conflict and …

Since sulfur mustard was first used in World War I, significant efforts have been made in
materials and methods development for the adsorption and detoxification of different classes …

A nerve‐agent simulant based on a phosphate ester is hydrolyzed using a MOF‐based
catalyst. Suspensions of MOF‐808 (6‐connected), a material featuring 6‐connected …

Inspired by biology, in which a bimetallic hydroxide‐bridged zinc (II)‐containing enzyme is
utilized to catalytically hydrolyze phosphate ester bonds, the utility of a zirconium (IV)‐cluster …

Recently, chemical warfare agents (CWAs) have popped up many times around the world,
drawing the attention of both regular citizens and entire nations. Many researchers have …

The hydrolysis of nerve agents is of primary concern due to the severe toxicity of these
agents. Using a MOF-based catalyst (UiO-66), we have previously demonstrated that the …
