Nerve agents; oximes; hydrogen bond; organophosphate stimulant.

In this contribution, the ability of simple oximes to bind a well-known nerve agent simulant (dimethylmethylphosphonate, DMMP) via hydrogen bond is reported. UV/Vis measurements indicate the formation of 1:1 complexes. ¹H-, ³¹P-NMR titrations and T-ROESY experiments confirm that oximes bind the organophosphate via hydrogen bond.
