The thermal decomposition kinetics of TNAZ have been investigated by the method of volumetry in gas and liquid phase. The gas-phase reaction (the temperature range was 170−220°C) followed the first order kinetics and obeyed Arrhenius equation k = 1015,67±0,6exp[−(40500 ± 1400)/RT] s−1, where R = 1,987 cal·mol−1·K−1. According to IR-spectrophotometric data the complete TNAZ decomposition at 220°C resulted in the formation of N2, NO2, CO2, O2NCH2CHO and the traces of CO and NO. We explained the formation of nitroacetaldehyde (O2NCH2CHO) by the decomposition of intermediate 3,3-dinitroazetidine. The total quantity of the gaseous products non-condensed at normal conditions was about 4 moles per 1 mole of TNAZ. The more complex kinetics has been measured for TNAZ decomposition in m-dinitrobenzene solution (180−231°C). One could observe the small self-acceleration of the process at low reaction conversions (from 10% up to 25%) and gas-formation level increasing from 4 to 5 moles per 1 mole of TNAZ. Simultaneously, the nitrogen content in the gaseous decomposition products was reduced from 14% in the case of the gas-phase reaction to the traces. TNAZ decomposition in solution was described by the Arrhenius equation:
