A versatile and recyclable molecularly imprinted polymer as an oxidative catalyst of sulfur derivatives: a new possible method for mustard gas and V nerve agent decontamination†
Abstract
A molecularly imprinted polymer containing a porphyrin unit was developed as a biomimetic heterogenous catalyst for the oxidation of sulfur derivatives. Its catalytic efficiency under mild conditions and its easy recovery represent a great asset for the design of new decontamination tools for yperite and VX.
