This report lists eighteen quality powder x-ray diffraction patterns produced at Mound for various explosives of recent and current interest. In each case the best possible experimental pattern, obtained from the substance in question via automated diffractometric step-scans, was compared with the corresponding pattern, calculated from the lattice and atomic positional parameters of the crystal structure, if known, and a reconciliation sought between the two. In order to make these patterns more useful to various types of practitioners, previously published patterns for these substances have been included, together with a brief description of their crystallographies, some Chemical Abstracts reference information about them, and an evaluation of their quality via accepted powder diffraction criteria. Most of these patterns have been accepted by the International Centre for Diffraction Data for inclusion in their Powder Data File; the others will be submitted in due course.
