Two descriptors, electron affinity and electrophilicity, appeared to be linearly correlated with this property, but the best predictivity is obtained with a multi-linear correlation involving three descriptors. Beside the numerical aspects, our work points out the perspectives of using DFT indexes within QSPR framework, for the predictions of decomposition enthalpy, a property directly related to explosivity %G English %L ineris-00963161 %U https://ineris.hal.science/ineris-00963161 %~ INERIS %~ ENSCP %~ CNRS %~ ENSC-PARIS %~ PARISTECH %~ LECIME %~ INC-CNRS %~ PSL %~ ENSCP-PSL %~ TEST2-HALCNRS
