Gas-Phase Kinetics Measurements for Underwater Explosives.

Abstract

To aid in the development of boron-enhanced fluorinitramino explosives, the kinetics of individual reactions are measured over wide temperature ranges. It is found that the pre-exponentials of rate coefficients of BO reactions tend to be two orders of magnitude smaller than for the AlO reactions with the same oxidants. This may explain why no reaction could be observed between BO and CO2, k < 1 x 10(-14) cm3 molecule.
