Investigation of the Spectroscopy and Kinetics of Transient Intermediates of Importance in the Decomposition of Energetic Materials

摘要

Infrared (IR) laser spectroscopy has been employed for both the spectroscopic and kinetic study of transient intermediates of importance in the decomposition of energetic materials using cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) and for the detection of organic residues, including energetic materials, by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (UBS) with infrared laser irradiation. CRDS in the hydride stretching region of the IR was employed to study the thermal decomposition of methyl azide to form methyleneimine (H2CNH).
