We present results from Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (DRIFTs), X-ray Adsorption (EXAFS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) studies that focus on the interaction of the chemical warfare agent simulant DMMP with multiple Zirconium-based metal organic frameworks (MOFs).  Using these methods, the mechanism of DMMP adsorption and reaction are determined.  Furthermore, PXRD results can be interpreted to confirm adsorption of DMMP into the pores of the MOFs.  The results show that the Zr-based MOFs are candidates for inclusion into future chemical warfare protective equipment.
