Kinetics and Mechanism of Thermal Decomposition of 1-R-Substituted bis(1,1-Dinitromethyl-3-Nitro-1,2,4-Triazole-5-yl)
Thermal decomposition kinetics of 1-substituted bis(1,1-dinitromethyl-3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazole- 5-yl) in solution of 1,3-dinitrobenzene is studied with manometric method under isothermal conditions. The limiting stage of thermal decomposition is homolytic break of C-NO2 bond in gem-dinitromethyl group; activation parameters of this stage are calculated. The reactivity of investigated compounds is analyzed. Correlation dependences between logarithm of rate constant, activation energy and steric constant of substituent R are obtained.
