Prof. Raymond K. Sheline

The Florida State University

Tallahassee, Florida

Dear Professor Sheline:

I am pleased to have your letter and I look forward to receiving the sample of 5 grams of dicobalt octacarbonyl, prepared by Dr. Sternberg of the U.S. Bureau of Mines. We shall plan to purify the material as recommended in your letter.

I thank you for the copy of your paper on the infrared studies of dicobalt octacarbonyl. I read the manuscript yesterday, and in the course of reading it I thought of another structure, which you have not considered. I have not yet carefully checked the infrared spectrum predicted for this structure, but I shall let you know as soon as this is done.

Sincerely yours,

Linus Pauling:W
