  • Compositions and methods for the detection of chemical warfare agents
    Patent number: 8377712
    Abstract: Compositions for detection of chemical warfare agents that comprise oximate anion reactive sites and fluorophore cores. Methods for detecting a chemical warfare agents that comprise providing a detector molecule comprising an oximate anion reactive site and a fluorophore core and detecting fluorescence from the detector molecule. Methods for enhancing the reactivity of an oximate nucleophile that comprise introducing an oxime into an aprotic solvent and deprotonating the oxime to form the oximate nucleophile with a base that creates noncoordinating anions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: Board of Regents, The University of Texas System
