The primary decomposition product (TKX-50-M) of dihydroxylammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50) was obtained under adiabatic condition by using accelerating rate calorimeter (ARC). Meanwhile, diammonium 5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (ABTOX) was confirmed as the main component of TKX-50-M. Specific heat capacity of TKX-50-M and ABTOX was studied from 0 to 45 °C. In addition, the thermal decomposition of TKX-50-M and ABTOX was studied under adiabatic condition. The experiment results revealed that TKX-50-M were more thermal sensitive than ABTOX. Furthermore, ABTOX exhibited much violent than that of TKX-50-M during decomposition.
