Abstract The fact of the constancy of activation entropy of N-NO 2 bond homolysis in a series of secondary nitramines was utilized for correction of the experimental values of activation energy E of this process proceeding from the reliable data for the rate constants of the nitramines decomposition in solutions. When comparing the refined values of E (kJ mol− 1) with the NN bond length d NN (Å) the following correlations were obtained: for cyclic and ...
