SENSITIVITY STUDIES ON NF COMPOUNDS.
Abstract
The decomposition of INFO-635P in various forms was studied in dilute aqueous solution. Decomposition of the A form of INFO-635P is rapid at room temperature and takes place unimolecularly. In the solid state, detonation occurs almost immediately in anhydrous ammonia gas. The tris- group of INFO-635P in acid decomposes at 100 C. by homolytic rupture into free radicals, and the final products. One of these final products seems to act as a reducing agent in acidic solutions and this should be tested conclusively for the solid decompositions as well. In general, the gaseous product distribution from solid phase decomposition is similar to that in acid solution. The kinetics of decomposition of compound Delta is complex. At the high end of the temperature range studied, 140 -190 C., the dominant reaction is first order in Delta, and homogeneous. A second competing mechanism becomes more dominant at the intermediate temperatures where no distinct first order rate can be observed. The reaction at these lower temperatures is homogeneous, and possibly 3/2 order. (Author)
