Major Events

  • Pauling becomes interested in hemoglobin, the red protein in the red cells of the blood. He applies for a three-year grant (1935-1938) from the Rockefeller Foundation to support his research on the structure of hemoglobin and other substances of biological importance.
  • He continues to supervise crystal-structure determinations, for example, enargite and calcium boride (with Sidney Weinbaum) and binnite (with E.W. Newman).
  • Pauling and M.L. Huggins publish their widely-used paper on covalent radii of atoms and interatomic distances in crystals containing electron-pair bonds.
  • During the summer, Pauling, who has switched his allegiance from the Republican to the Democratic Party, supports Upton Sinclair in his campaign to become governor of California (Sinclair wins a stunning triumph in the Democratic primary election).
  • Pauling and Brockway begin publishing their electron-diffraction determinations of the structures of molecules (their first paper, on the hexafluorides of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium is published in PNAS).
  • In November, despite the support of many Californians (including Linus and Ava Helen Pauling), Upton Sinclair, the Democratic nominee, is beaten by Frank Merriam, the Republican candidate, for the governorship.
