Title: CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC DATA. 1,3,5-TRIAMINO-2,4,6-TRINITROBENZENE

Optical and x-ray crystallographic studies were made of TATB(1,3,5- triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene). Crude TATB was prepared by ammonolysis of trichlorotrinitrobenzene. Large crystals of purer TATB, used for the crystallographic studies, were prepared by slow recrystallization from hot nitrobenzene. X-ray powder patterns and microscopic examination revealed no crystalline impurities. (auth)
