Conclusions
-
1.
The thermal decomposition of N,N-dinitroamines is homogeneous and unimolecular in the gas phase. The limiting step of the process is the rupture of the N-NO2 bond.
-
2.
The activation parameters of the process imply that the dinitroamine group is more reactive than the mononitroamine group in thermal decomposition. The energy of dissociation of the N-NO2 bond in dinitroamines is ∼42 kJ/mole less than in mononitroamines.
-
3.
Nitrogen dioxide and acetaldehyde do not influence the kinetics of thermal decomposition of dinitroamines due to their high reactivity.
