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]
V-sub x, also known as GD-7, is an organophosphate nerve agent of the V-series, [1] the phosphonate analog of the organophosphate insecticide demeton. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] EA-5478 is the pinacolyl analogue. [ 4 ]
The major nerve gases are the G agents, sarin (GB), soman (GD), tabun (GA), and the V agents such as VX. The original agent, tabun, was discovered in Germany in 1936 in the process of work on organophosphorus insecticides. Next came sarin, soman and finally, cyclosarin, a product of commercial insecticide laboratories prior to World War II.
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 .
