MECHANISTIC STUDY OF POLYNITROCOMPOUNDS BY XPS——MECHANISM OF THE THERMAL DECOMPOSITION OF POLYNITROPHENOLS

摘要

The subject-matter described in the paper reveals the importance of the hydroxyl groups within the molecules of polynitrophenols in the process of the thermal decomposition as studied by XPS (ESCA). It is evident that theintramolecular charge transfer with drastic change during the time of the thermal decomposition can be envisaged as an indicator capable of following the reaction process. The present work shows that combining with CNDO/2 SCF MO model XPS data allow information to be derived reasonably on the relative stability of nitrogen-containing species left in the surface of the energetic materials during decomposition.
