References: PDF2 #07-0007
Found: Salammoniac

Comments: Peaks have sharp tops but are slightly broadened; resolution of the alpha1-alpha2 components is only fair. Search-match confirms the identification as salammoniac (NH4Cl). The sample is primitive cubic with cell edge 3.87 angstroms, the same endmember composition. The (110) at 2.73 angstroms has an unexplained, but very weak, shoulder extending to 2.83 angstroms.
