A current analytic tool used to determine the maximum enthalpy of decomposition is the ASTM Computer Program for Chemical Thermodynamics and Energy Release Evaluation (CHETAH). It is based on molecular structure-reactivity relationships. Currently it can only predict the reactivity of organic compounds only, not inorganic compounds.
