Abstract: A therapeutically effective class of low toxicity aldoxime-substituted functionalized imidazolium compounds and compositions is disclosed which is effective in the treatment of living species poisoned by organophosphorus chemicals which inactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. In vivo administration of therapeutically effective amounts of these aldoxime-substituted imidazolium derivatives has been found to save mammals having inhibited acetylcholinesterase due to injection with lethal dosages of Soman.

Abstract: A therapeutically effective class of low toxicity aldoxime-substituted trazolium derivatives is disclosed which is effective in the treatment of living species poisoned by organophosphorus chemicals which inactivate the enzyme acetylcholinesterase. In vivo administration of therapeutically effective amounts of these low toxicity aldoxime-substituted triazolium derivatives has been found to save mice having inhibited acetylcholinesterase due to injection with lethal dosages of Soman.

Abstract: A perfluoroalkylene .alpha.,.omega.-diacetylene compound having a fluorocarbon chain of from 5 to about 20 carbon atoms between two acetylene end groups, and a method of forming same by first reacting perfluoroalkylene diiodide having the formula I(CF.sub.2).sub.n I, wherein n is a whole number from 5 to about 20, inclusive with bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene, and converting the reaction product to the diacetylene with KF. The diacetylene has the general formula HC.tbd.C(CF.sub.2).sub.n C.tbd.CH, wherein n is as set forth above, and it can be polymerized to produce a clear, hard, cross-linked resin suitable for use as a coating on bearings and in the manufacture of aircraft windshields. Monofunctional counterparts of the HC.tbd.C(CF.sub.2).sub.n C.tbd.CH compounds can be formed by substituting perfluoroalkyl primary iodides for the diiodides in the above-described reaction.
