有研究显示NO3自由基会在RDX热解过程中形成, 然而实验中却始终未有发现. 本文首次通过量子化学方法研究了NO3自由基分别与RDX两种热解产物HNO及HONO的反应, 并利用CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p)方法对反应势垒进行了精确计算. 计算结果显示, NO3+HNO反应为无势垒反应, 且放出大量热量, 预示该反应极易发生. 这为NO3自由基始终没有在RDX热解实验中被观察到提供了一种解释.

NO3 radical is known as a dominant oxidant in the atmosphere at night, and plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry. Recently, NO3 radical is reported to be formed in the decomposition process of RDX, while it has never been detected in experiment up to now. The possible reason is that it would react with RDX or some RDX decomposition products once it is formed. This study for the first time theoretically investigated the bimolecular reactions of NO3 radical with two kinds of decomposition products of RDX (HNO and HONO) by computational chemistry methods, and the reaction mechanisms are studied using CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p) theoretical methods based on the geometric parameters optimized at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. Same mechanisms are devised for the two reactions, such as oxygen abstraction and hydrogen abstraction. The two kinds of reaction pathways are of equal importance for the two reactions, because of similar barrier heights obtained in this study. The two pathways of the reation of NO3+HNO can result in two kinds of products HNO2+NO2 and HNO3+NO respectively, while the reaction of NO3+HONO only yields HNO3+NO2. The two reactions proceed with low barrier heights (0~0.5 kcal/mol, and 15.9~18.5 kcal/mol respectively), which are significantly lower than that of the reactions of RDX decomposition and NO3 formation. Moreover, the results show that the reaction of NO3 radical with HNO is barrierless and exothermic, implying it is energetically feasible to take place. The reaction may be responsible for the disappearance of NO3 radical during the decomposition process of RDX. Moreover, the isomerization reactions of HNO and HONO are also investigated by using the same methods, and a hydrogen atom intramolecular migration mechanism is found for these two isomerization reactions. The study is a necessary precursor for providing parameters for subsequent kinetic study and encourages further experimental investigation in future.
