Sesquimustard (military code Q, also known as One-and-one-half mustard) is a vesicant chemical weapon, a type of mustard gas. In its pure form it has up to 5 times the potency as a vesicant compared to the original sulfur mustard, though it is a solid when pure and so was only ever deployed militarily as mixtures with the original sulfur mustard, and/or with phosgene. It is a Schedule I substance under the Chemical Weapons Convention.<ref>VOCCI FJ, BALLARD TA, YEVICH P, PUNTE CL. INHALATION TOXICITY STUDIES WITH AEROSOLS OF SESQUI-MUSTARD.
