Reactions of VX, GD, and HD with Nanosize MgO
TL;DR: The room-temperature reactions of the chemical warfare agents VX (O-ethyl S-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methylphosphonothioate), GD (3,3-dimethyl-2-butyl methylph phosphonofluoridate, or Soman), and HD (2,2‘-dichloroethyl sulfide, or mustard) with nanosize MgO have been studied using solid-state MAS NMR as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Certain formulations of nanoscale powders possess antimicrobial properties, and when these ultrafine powders contact vegetative cells of Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, or Bacillus globigii, over 90% are killed within a few minutes.

Nanocrystalline metal oxides as destructive adsorbents for organophosphorus compounds at ambient temperatures.
TL;DR: The nanocrystalline MgO reacts much faster and in higher capacity than typical activated carbon samples, which physisorb but do not destructively adsorb these phosphorous compounds.
