Trinitrotoluene boiling point

Trinitrotoluene, which melts below the boiling point of water,... 

Boiling point and vapour pressures. Giua [64] reported in 1919 that trinitrotoluene may be boiled. According to this author, it can be distilled off at 210-212°C, under a reduced pressure of 10-12 mm Hg without any visible decomposition. 

The authors have determined the boiling point of trinitrotoluene at normal pressure by extrapolation and found it to be 300 10°C. The direct determination of the boiling point, is of course impossible, since it is near to the initiation temperature of the substance.
