Dr. Albert Sprague Coolidge
26 Reservoir Street
Cambridge 38, Massachusetts
Dear Dr. Coolidge:
I am pleased to read your letter of 30 April; although sorry to read that you shall not be giving your course on molecular structure again. The third edition of my book The Nature of the Chemical Bond will be available about January 1960.
I agree with you that the calculation that you present in your letter shows that no further hybridization occurs in boron trimethyl, and accordingly that the molecule can be given a theoretical treatment that leads to the expectation of a planar structure.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
Linus Pauling:jh
