Thermal decomposition of methylammonium perchlorate
TLDR
In this article, the thermal decomposition of methylammonium perchlorate (MAP) has been studied under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions and the results have been explained on the basis of a methyl group transfer in addition to proton transfer in the decomposition process.Abstract:
The thermal decomposition of methylammonium perchlorate (MAP) has been studied under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. Differential thermal analysis of MAP showed, in addition to the exotherm due to decomposition, another exotherm at 408° which was observed for the first time. Chemical analysis and the infrared spectrum of the residue left behind after the decomposition proved it to contain NH4ClO4. The results have been explained on the basis of a methyl group transfer in addition to proton transfer in the decomposition process.read more

Studies on energetic compounds. Part 8 : Thermolysis of salts of HNO3 and HClO4
TL;DR: The thermolysis of various substituted ammonium salts of nitric and perchloric acids has been reviewed and it has been observed that the proton transfer process do play a major role during thermolyses of these salts.

Kinetics of thermolysis of ring-substituted arylammonium nitrates 2. TG, DTA, impact, and friction sensitivity studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the activation energies for decomposition (Ed), exothermic decomposition temperatures (Td), and impact sensitivity data are found to be linearly related to the Hammett substituent constant (σ) and dissociation exponent (pKa) of the corresponding arylamine.

TL;DR: The thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate has usually been described in terms of chemical reactions with the point defect structure of the solid ignored as mentioned in this paper, however, the authors of this paper have shown that charge carriers play a significant role in the decomposition.
