In this paper, we develop a model based on a second quantization—with anharmonic phonon scattering and the phonon Boltzmann transport equation—to study precise high-resolution nonequilibrium vibrational energy transfer (VET) under selective phonon excitation in cyclotrimethylene trinitramine. We simulate mid-infrared pump–probe spectroscopy and observe a prompt appearance (<1 ps) of broad-spectrum intensity, which agrees well with experimental data in the literature. The selective excitation of phonons at different frequencies reveals distinct VET pathways and the kinetic evolution of mode occupations as the system reaches a new equilibrium temperature. Three types of transition mechanisms are found to play outsized roles in terms of the amount of energy transferred and the transfer rate: (1) vibrational modes close to the excited frequencies typically respond faster and reach higher temperatures regardless of the excitation frequency; (2) the overtone pathway connecting the modes near 550 and 1150 cm−1 is an important bridge between far- and mid-IR; and (3) fast aggregation of energy at 2800 cm−1 mediates transfer to/from high frequencies through a second overtone pathway involving modes near 1400 cm−1. In addition, by monitoring the temperature of the N–N/N–O stretching modes, strong coupling between those modes and the C–H stretching modes is found. The coupling likely draws the vibrational modes close to both the proton transfer transition state for HONO elimination and the N–N stretching for bond cleavage. The high-resolution understanding of the nonequilibrium kinetics of phonons provides important insight into the energy transfer and initiation mechanisms of molecular solids due to external stimuli.
