Ultrafast Cold Reactions in the Bipropellant Monomethylhydrazine/Nitrogen Tetroxide: CPMD Simulations

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Highly reactive intermediates, such as that shown, which arise under special conditions in hypergolic mixtures of monomethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide, may trigger uncontrolled reaction behavior. Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics simulations provide an insight into the complex reactions on very short timescales.
