Thermal decomposition kinetics of bis-gem-dinitroethyl substituted compounds based on N-nitraminoacetic acid is studied. Structural and kinetic patterns are revealed and a chemical mechanism of decomposition reaction is established, including the primary homolysis of C-NO2 bond in the gem-dinitroethyl fragment. The activation parameters are defined for the initial reaction. The reactivity of the studied compounds was analyzed and quantitative correlations between the logarithms of the rate constant, the activation energies and the steric constants of substituents in the gem-dinitroethyl group were found

Thermal decomposition kinetics of 1-substituted bis(1,1-dinitromethyl-3-Nitro-1,2,4-triazole- 5-yl) in solution of 1,3-dinitrobenzene is studied with manometric method under isothermal conditions. The limiting stage of thermal decomposition is homolytic break of C-NO2 bond in gem-dinitromethyl group; activation parameters of this stage are calculated. The reactivity of investigated compounds is analyzed. Correlation dependences between logarithm of rate constant, activation energy and steric constant of substituent R are obtained
