Organic compounds that contain large proportions of nitrogen and oxygen tend to be unstable and are easily decomposed.
Hexanitroethane, C2(NO2)6, decomposes according to the equation
C2(NO2)6- 2NO2+4NO + 2C02
The reaction in Cl4 solvent is first order with respect to C2(NO2)6. At 78.9 °C, k = 0.000303s and at 107.4 °C, k = 0.0207s.
