ABSTRACT

Since high-energy substances are, as a rule, complex multifunctional compounds, it is important to determine the center o f the reaction and to establish the relation of the molecule structure with their reactivity. The competition o f various transformation pathways is, first o f all , determined by the structure of decomposing molecules, but, sometimes, variation o f the decomposition mechanism may also occur on variation of the conditions under which the process occurs, for instance, temperature.
