Nerve agents

Nerve agents

  • VX (nerve agent)
    Venomous Agent X, aka VX (IUPAC name O-ethyl S-[2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate) is an extremely toxic substance that has no known uses except in chemical warfare as a nerve agent.
  • Tabun (nerve agent)
    Tabun or GA is an extremely toxic chemical substance.
  • Chlorosarin
    Chlorosarin is a chemical precursor used in the final step of one method for the production of the nerve agent Sarin.
  • VE (nerve agent)
    VE (S-(Diethylamino)ethyl O-ethyl ethylphosphonothioate) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related to the better-known VX nerve agent.
  • VM (nerve agent)
    VM (Edemo) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related to the better-known VX nerve agent.
  • Cyclosarin
    (Not to be confused with Cycloserine.) Cyclosarin or GF (cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate) is an extremely toxic substance used as a chemical weapon.
  • GV (nerve agent)
    GV (IUPAC name: 2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl N,N-dimethylphosphoramidofluoridate) is an organophosphate nerve agent.
  • Soman
    Soman, or GD (systematic name: O-Pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate), is an extremely toxic chemical substance.
  • VR (nerve agent)
    VR (Russian VX, Soviet V-gas, Substance 33, R-33) is a "V-series" nerve agent closely related (isomer) to the better-known VX nerve agent.
  • Methylphosphonyl difluoride
    Methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), also called methyl difluorophosphite, methylphosphonic difluoride, and difluoromethylphosphine oxide, is a chemical weapon precursor.
  • VG (nerve agent)
    VG (IUPAC name: O,O-diethyl S-[2-(diethylamino)ethyl] phosphorothioate) (also called Amiton or Tetram) is a "V-series" nerve agent chemically similar to the better-known VX nerve agent.
  • Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide
    Dimethylamidophosphoric dicyanide is an important chemical for the final process of synthesizing Tabun, a nerve agent used as a chemical weapon.
