Abstract
Sample of VX stored for a long time in glass container was investigated using GC/MS system. A variety of age decomposition products including O-alkyl and N,N-diisopropylamino- substituted thiophosphonic esters and acids as well as phosphonic anhydrides were identified. Diazomethane methylation was used to obtain derivatives convenient to GC process. Retention parameters and EI-MS spectra were obtained and presented in the paper.
