VX is an odorless and tasteless [13] [14] chiral organophosphorous chemical with a molecular weight of 267.37 g/mol. [15] Under standard conditions it is an amber-coloured liquid with a boiling point of 298 °C (568 °F), and a freezing point of −51 °C (−60 °F). [16]
EA-2192 is an extremely toxic degradation product of the VX, a very potent nerve agent. [1] [2] It is a white solid that is very soluble and stable in water.EA-2192 is an extremely potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

The last stockpiles of a deadly chemical agent in the U.S. have been safely eliminated, according to Kentucky officials in charge of destroying the Cold War-era weapons. The final M55 rocket ...
VX was the only V-series agent that was fielded by the US as a munition, in rockets, artillery shells, airplane spray tanks, and landmines. [ 27 ] [ 29 ] Analyzing the structure of thirteen V agents, the standard composition, which makes a compound enter this group, is the absence of halides .
QL sulfide is an isomer of VX and readily converts to it. [2] [3] The toxicity of QL sulfide is unknown but the fact that it easily isomerizes into VX makes it particularly dangerous. [citation needed] It is the intermediate in the last step of VX production and binary VX deployment. [4]
QL is a component in binary chemical weapons, mainly VX nerve agent. [3] It, along with methylphosphonyl difluoride (DF), was developed during the 1980s in order to replace an aging stockpile of unitary chemical weapons. [3] QL is listed as a Schedule 1 chemical by the Chemical Weapons Convention. [4]
VR (Russian VX, VXr, Soviet V-gas, GOSNIIOKhT substance No. 33, Agent "November") is a "V-series" unitary nerve agent closely related (it is an isomer) to the better-known VX nerve agent. [1] It became a prototype for the series of Novichok agents .
