Abstract
Thermal decomposition of C,N-disubstituted gem-dinitroethylnitramines in dilute solutions in inert solvents is a first-order reaction and it is unaffected by the polarity of the solvent. The rate constant is largely controlled by the steric effect of the substituent at the carbon atom bearing gem-nitro groups. A correlation is found between the rate constant and the steric constant E s of the substituent. This correlation permits prediction not only of thermal stability of yet unexplored compounds, but also of change of the decomposition mechanism.
