Nitrophenates of transition metals1 part II. DTA, explosion delay, impact and friction sensitivity studies
TLDR
In this paper, impact, friction, and explosion delay measurements of transition metals of 3D-series have been studied by DTA, and it has been observed that these salts dehydrate below 140°C and at higher temperatures corresponding metal oxide and nitrosubstituted diphenylethers are formed.Abstract:
Thermolysis of nitrophenates (C-NO2 explosives) of transition metals of 3d-series have been studied by DTA, impact, friction, and explosion delay measurements. Explosion delay (DE), explosion temperature (ET), activation energy for explosion (E∗), and height for 50% explosion (h50%) have been found to be in the order: trinitro<dinitro<p mononitrophenates of transition metals. Only trinitrophenates have been found to be friction sensitive. It has been observed that these salts dehydrate below 140°C and at higher temperatures corresponding metal oxide and nitrosubstituted diphenylethers (as intermediates) are formed. The oxidative decomposition reactions seem to occur in adsorbed phase between NO2, MO, and radical species leading to explosion.read more

STUDIES ON ENERGETIC COMPOUNDS IV. Thermal explosion of ring-substituted arylammonium perchlorates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the thermal and explosion characteristics of RSAP and proposed a reaction scheme based on the formation of reaction intermediates during decomposition and explosion, accounting for the products, which involves proton transfer as the rate determining process and evolution of ammonia.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most of the important equilibria in the detonation of C-H-N-O explosives are buffered, and that the actual mechanical properties of detonations appear to be extremely insensitive to exact product compositions.
