Abstract
The thermal decomposition of 4,10-dinitro-2,6,8,12-tetraoxa-4,10-diazatetra cyclo[5.5.0.0.(5.9)0(3.11)]dodecane proceeds in the solid phase without acc eleration. This process is complicated by the sublimation of nitramine and its subsequent decomposition in the gas phase. Therefore, Arrhenius law is violated. The radical mechanism of decomposition involving N-N bond cleavag e is proposed that explain higher reactivity of nitramine as compared to th at of dinitropiperazine. The mechanism accounts for the specific conformati onal features.
