## Abstract The decomposition mechanism of 2βethylβhexylnitrate (2βEHN), an important additive to diesel fuel to improve the cetane number, was investigated in solution and in the gas phase. In __trans__βdecalin as solvent, an activation barrier for the thermal decomposition of 39 kcal/mol was dete
