Title: Metal organic frameworks for the catalytic detoxification of chemical warfare nerve agents

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1351885

A method of using a metal organic framework (MOF) comprising a metal ion and an at least bidendate organic ligand to catalytically detoxify chemical warfare nerve agents including exposing the metal-organic-framework (MOF) to the chemical warfare nerve agent and catalytically decomposing the nerve agent with the MOF.
