Dr. P. D. Bartlett

Cambridge 38, Mass.
Dear Bartlett:
I have talked with Professor Schomaker about the possibility of taking electron diffraction photographs of S6, and he is very much interested in making the attempt.
I did not learn from you how stable the samples of S6 that you and your students prepare are. Would it be possible for you to ship us some of the solid material? Probably the electron diffraction work could be done with a gram or a somewhat smaller quantity. It is, you know, necessary to vaporize the substance, at a pressure of 50 or 100 mm Hg. I would suppose that S6 rings would be stable enough to stand this vaporization, which need not require more than a few seconds, if necessary.
If you cannot send us any of the material, could you tell us how to make it?
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
