Abstract
The secondary photochemical and “dark” reactions of polycrystalline RDX are described. The contribution of the latter is directly proportional to the amount of CO2 product observed, while the former processes generated N2O, HCN, NO, N2, plus solid products. The ratio of N2: (N2O + NO) was 1 : 2, consistent with the selective nitramine group decomposition pathways previously postulated for the equatorial and axial nitramine groups of RDX.Keywords
