A Selective Fluorescence Turn-On Probe for the Detection of DCNP (Nerve Agent Tabun Simulant)
Diethylcyanophosphonate (DCNP) is a simulant of Tabun (GA) which is an extremely toxic chemical substance and is used as a chemical warfare (CW) nerve agent. Due to its toxic properties, monitoring methods have been constantly come under the spotlight. What we are proposing within this report is a n...
