Time Resolved Study of Primary Decomposition Process for Nitro Praffins and Nitramines.
Abstract
A molecular beam unimolecular fragmentation mass spectrometer has been developed and applied to the study of primary dissociation processes in energetic materials. The experimental approach uses infrared multiphoton excitation to prepare isolated molecules in the beam for dissociation. Visible laser induced multiphoton ionization detects products with time-of-flight, scattering angle and internal quantum state resolution. This report describes the method, spectroscopic results of CH3 and NO2, experimental observations on the primary decomposition dynamics of CH3NO2, and their theoretical interpretation.
