The compounds RC(NO2)(2)NF2 differ little from their nitro analogs, RC
(NO2)(3), in stability. They decompose in the gas and liquid phases at
identical rates and the decomposition is controlled by cleavage of a
C-NO2 bond. For R = NO2, F, and Me the Arrhenius parameters, E (kJ mol
(-1)) and log (Als), are: 161.3 and 16.00; 180.2 and 16.20; 168.4 and
16.00, respectively.
