Bodsgard publishes article on decontamination materials

Dr. Brett Bodsgard, Department of Chemistry, had an article published in Dalton Transactions titled “Silica-bound copper(II)triazacyclononane as a phosphate esterase: effect of linker length and surface hydrophobicity” (Dalton Trans., 2009, 2365–2373). The article details the study of a family of insoluble copper-containing materials that may be useful in the decontamination of chemical warfare agents.
