They bring up the fact the ACS is undertaking a survey of chemistry departments to determine qualifications and feel Strand's letter affects the appraisal of the Oregon State chemistry department.

  Dr. S. Nikitine

  1 rue El Bassan

  Alexandria

  Egypt

  Dear Dr. Nikitine:

  I have been slow to answer your letter of 26 September, which reached me, together with the reprint, a little after my return to Pasadena from Europe.

  I thank you for sending me your reprints. I think that the problem of molecular dichroism is a very interesting one. The question that you ask about the theory of dichroism may perhaps be partially answered by a reference to the paper on the carotenoids that Professor Zechmeister and his associates published with me. I am sending a reprint of this paper to you separately. Professor Mulliken has also published a discussion of the dependence of the absorption spectrum of molecules, especially conjugated molecules, on the direction of orientation of the electric vector of the light with respect to the axes of the molecules, in papers published in the Journal of Chemical Physics some years ago, and Professor Gilbert N. Lewis of the University of California also published some papers along similar lines.

  With best regards, I am

  Sincerely yours,

  Linus Pauling:W

  In my freshman text the statement is made that thiocyonic, cyanic acid, and hydrazoic acid are weak acids, with acid constants around 10^-4. A note recently appeared in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in which it was pointed out that thiocyanic acid is in fact a strong acid. I have received a letter from a young man in Brazil, Ricardo Carvalho Ferreira, in which he mentions that Lowry, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Second Edition, Macmillan Co., page 552, and Curtman, QUALITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS, Macmillan Co., page 383, say that cyanic acid and thiocyanic acid are both strong acids, as strong as hydrochloric acid. I wonder whether hydrazoic acid may also not be a strong acid.

  If you would be interested, perhaps you could check the literature a bit on hydrazoic acid, and perhaps you would like to run titration curves on potassium thiocyanate, potassium cyanate, and potassium azide. I have a sample of sodium azide, if you have any trouble in getting hold of material.
