Abstract

Virtually all reactive energetic processes begin with the elementary chemical step of unimolecular decomposition. The early kinetics of even complex detonation reactions depend critically on the nature of initiating and propogating dissociative events.1 It follows that the construction of accurate rate models for chemically evolving energetic systems with widely and rapidly varying conditions of local temperature and pressure, demands a thorough theoretical understanding of key dissociative steps.
