AbstractThe solid-phase thermal decomposition of the insensitive energetic aromatic heterocycle 2,4- dinitroimidazole (2,4-DNI: mp 265–274°C) is studied utilizing simultaneous thermogravimetric modulated beam mass spectrometry (STMBMS) between 200° and 247°C. The pyrolysis products have been identified using perdeuterated and N-labeled isotopomers. The products consist of low molecular-weight gases and a thermally stable solid residue. The major gaseous products are NO, CO2, CO, N2, HNCO and H2O. Minor gaseous products are HCN, C2N2, NO2, C3H4N2, C3H3N3O and NH3. The elemental formula of the residue is C2HN2O and FTIR analysis suggests that it is polyurea- and polycarbamate-like in nature. The rates of formation of the gaseous products and their respective quantities have been determined for a typical isothermal decomposition experiment at 235°C. The temporal behaviors of the gas formation rates indicate that the overall decomposition is characterized by a sequence of four events; 1) an early decomposition period induced by impurities and H2O, 2) an induction period where CO2 and NO are the primary products formed at relatively constant rates, 3) an autoacceleratory period that peaks when the sample is depleted and 4) a final period in which the residue decomposes. Arrhenius parameters for the induction period are Ea = 46.9 ± 0.7 kcal/mol and Log(A) = 16.3 ± 0.3. Decomposition pathways that are consistent with the data are presented.

The thermal decomposition of anhydrous barium perchlorate to barium chloride and oxygen has been studied by pressure measurements, or by weight loss, in vacuo, under the accumulated gaseous products (0–3 Torr oxygen), under dry air or nitrogen, and mixed with added barium chloride. The plots of fractional decomposition (α) against time (t) are complex, as would be expected for a reaction proceeding via unstable intermediates. The most pronounced features of the α(t) curves are an initial acceleratory period, which is succeeded by an approximately linear period and then, after a sharp break (reduction in rate), by a deceleratory period which conforms to the contracting-volume kinetic law. The latter stage is associated with the decomposition of barium chlorate and has an activation energy of 59 kcal/mole. The first two stages comprise the decomposition of perchlorate to chlorate with the approximate stoichiometry 3ClO4− = 2ClO3− + Cl− + 3O2. A chain reaction sequence, which involves O atoms as chain carriers, is proposed for these stages. The effect of the removal of products, of increasing the ambient pressure of inert gas, and of the addition of barium chloride, can all be explained on this model.
