However, no known mechanisms currently exist. A novel mechanism does exist, which proposes that the sulfur is protonated in acidic medium via a hydronium ion which ultimately delivers a hydroxide group to the phosphorus center and can react readily.

The form of diazinon varies widely as it can be in dusts, granules, liquids, concentrates, microencapsulations, wettable powders, and seed dressings.
