Abstract: The kinetic regularities of the thermal decomposition of 2,4-dinitrobenzofuroxan and its adducts with K, Na, and Cu hydroxides were studied. The variation in the reaction rate during the transformation and the relationship between the decomposition kinetics and the degree of filling of the vessel with the substance, the state of aggregation, and temperature were established. Possible mechanisms of the chemical reactions are considered on the basis of the kinetic data obtained, the compositions of gaseous and some condensed decomposition products, and an analysis of the element mass balance between the starting substance and products.

Keywords: thermal decomposition, salts of 2,4-dinitrobenzofuroxan, Mesenheimer complexes.
