Abstract

Temperature profiling/FTIR is described for the fast thermolysis of four C‐NO~2~‐containing nitramines whose oxygen content exceeds the balance to CO~2~. The compounds are [(NO~2~)~3~CCH~2~N(NO~2~)CH~2~‐]~2~ (ONDO), [(NO~2~)~3~CCH~2~]~2~N(NO~2~) (BTNEN), [Cl(NO~2~)~2~CCH~2~]~2~N(NO~2~) (CDNEN), and [F(NO~2~)~2~CCH~2~]~2~N(NO~2~) (FDNEN). By themselves, these compounds are found not to be especially exothermic during the rapid decomposition off‐gasing phase probably because of their overoxidized nature. The halogen atoms appear as ClNO and FNO in the gas decomposition products.
