Dissociation of RDX at 532nm Laser

The dissociation process of hexahydro-l,3,5-trinitro-l,3,5-triazine(RDX) under 532 nm laser was studied by time of flight mass spectrometer(TOFMS).The mass spectra of both positive and negative ions in the dissociation process of RDX were obtained.Three possible dissociation paths of RDX were proposed based on the possible ion distribution of the dissociation products.The results indicated that the competing reactions of cracking the N-N and C-N bond occurred in the dissociation of RDX when it was irradiated by 532 nm laser.
