Dear Crellie,
I found the research book 732 at home and the report number 3 and I have now asked Professor Corey if he would prepare the work on the preparation of these halo-genides for publication. I enclose a copy of a letter that I have sent to Herbert Harned. Corey wants to have a paper on these complexes published at about the same time as the paper on the x-ray work, so that reference to it can be made.
I do not know what the situation is about the bromide. I judge that Professor Corey is not sure that niobium bromide had been prepared, and unless you have got some additional evidence it may not be possible to say very much about it.
Please let me know if you are agreeable to having Professor Corey go ahead with the preparation of the paper, which would have you and Professor Harned and Professor Corey as joint authors.
Much love from
[Linus Pauling]
