“…Formerly, there was also a GC with phosphorus-sulfur detector (SRI 6810C system) and liquid chromatography (Knauer high performance liquid chromatography [HPLC] system) techniques used for the analysis in Al-2/ch. The laboratory personnel follow their own methodological procedures, drawn on the BlueBook publication [6] or scientific articles [7,8].…”

Deployable chemical laboratories are considered a highly specific part of the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic, intended for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defence in operations. Their professional activity is determined by a number of scientific and technical requirements, which are formulated by standards for sample identification. To achieve the required degree of credibility, it is particularly important to have specific technical capacities. This instrumentation is crucial for the implementation of laboratory analyzes. The article describes the state of chemical laboratories of the Chemical Corps in the context of standardized requirements and discusses some points of selected Alliance agreements which the Armed Forces of the Czech Republic have signed.

“…Analytical methods for the detection of chemical threat agents in matrices such as organic solvents, air samples, [11][12][13] soil, 14,15 wipe 16,17 and other solid materials have been broadly investigated. 18 However, detection of intact agents is oen not possible due to the relatively high volatility and reactivity of these chemicals.…”

Rationale Organophosphorus compounds with phosphorus atom bonded to one methyl, ethyl or propyl (normal or iso) group are listed in Schedule 2 of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Selenophosphorus compounds, listed in Schedule 2.B.4, have very limited representation in mass spectral libraries and the open literature. Methods Members of a new category of selenophosphorus compounds were prepared via microsynthetic protocols and their fragmentation pathways were investigated using electron ionization (EI) and positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. The EI and ESI fragmentation pathways were suggested and supported by acquired fragment ions of deuterated analogs and density functional theory calculations. Results Mass spectrometric investigations showed some interesting fragmentation pathways, such as McLafferty‐type, selenono–selenolo rearrangements, intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction and α‐cleavage. Conclusions Efficient microsynthesis was conducted, and EI‐MS spectra and ESI‐MS/MS spectra of a series of selenophosphorus compounds were collected and studied with the purpose of identifying CWC‐related chemicals during on‐site inspection and/or off‐site analysis.
