Soman was discovered by Richard Kuhn in Germany in 1944, and represented the last wartime discovery (GF was not found until 1949.) Soman was given the identifier GD post-war (GC was already in medical use) when the information relating to Soman was recovered by the Soviet Union from its hiding place in a mine. It is a volative, corrosive and colourless liquid with a faint odour when pure, more commonly it is a yellow to brown color and has a stronger odour described as camphor. The LCt50 for Soman is 70 mg-min/m³ in humans. It is both more lethal and more persistent that Sarin or Tabun.
GD can be thickened for use as a chemical spray using an acryloid copolymer.
