Mr. Arthur Linz, Vice-President
Climax Molybdenum Company
500 Fifth Avenue
New York 18, N.Y.
Dear Mr. Linz:
I enclose our report for work done under the Climax Molybdenum Fund up to April 1, 1950. Several people contributed; of these only Drs. Waugh, Bastiansen, and Crane have received salaries from the Fund.
The work has gone along very well. Nothing has been published yet, but several papers should be ready in a few months. The x-ray solution apparatus, which is perhaps the most novel part of the work, will not be completed for some time. The new ultracentrifuge technique has turned out to be reasonably satisfactory.
May I hereby apply for a renewal of the grant for the year 1950-51? A second year of work in this field should be still more profitable than the first year.
Also, what would you think of our preparing a monograph on "The Structural Chemistry of Molybdenum?" Your interest in the Killefer book suggests this question. At the present time there exists no complete treatment of the structural chemistry of any element, and I think that molybdenum would be a fine one to treat in this way. Such a book might well set a new level for inorganic chemistry.
Please let me know if you want more information.
Sincerely yours,
Dictated by Linus Pauling
