QL sulfide (CV) is anisomer of thenerve agentVX. It is a sulfide of the chemicalQL, or isopropyl aminoethylmethyl phosphonite.[2][3]
QL sulfide is manufactured by reactingQL with sulfur.[4][5]
QL sulfide is anisomer ofVX and readily converts to it.[4][5]
The toxicity of QL sulfide is unknown but the fact that it easily isomerizes into VX makes it particularly dangerous.[citation needed]
It is the intermediate in the last step of VX production and binary VX deployment.[6]
