✦ Synopsis

RDX is one of the most important military explosives. It is a component of some plastic explosives which are frequently used in terrrorist attacks.

Two fluorimetric methods have been described for the quantitative determination of RDX which are based on the detection of nitrite ions. After a basic decomposition of RDX the nitrite ion can be detected by reaction with 4-aminofluorescein and by reactions forming a lumogallion-gallium(III) complex.

These fluorimetric methods have been compared to a photometric reaction (Griess reaction) for determination of nitrite ions. It has been found that the fluorimetric methods have a higher sensitivity than the photometric method and they have been used in a wider concentration range.

The kinetics of the thermal decomposition of RDX and the formation of three nitroso intermediates have been studied in hexaproteo (h6) benzene; hexadeutero (d6) benzene at 180"C and 200"C; and, as a melt at 210°C in sealed capillaries. Decomposition rates were determined by vapor-phase chromatograph
