  • Letter from LP to Dr. I.W. Kinney, President, United States Yttrium, Inc., RE: Rare earth ions, in the tripositive state, differ only slightly from one another in radius. Believes it would be hard to find organic substances that would combine strongly preferentially with one rather than others. Does not think that anyone knows enough about structural chemistry to make reliable predictions regarding the effects of the small change in ionic radius on combining power of the rare earth ions with different substances. Sorry that he cannot be of help in this matter. [Letter from Kinney to LP June 20, 1955] [Filed under LP Correspondence: (K: Correspondence, 1936-1956), #200.20]
  • Letter from LP to Dr. Peter Waser, Switzerland, RE: LP thanks Peter Waser and Jurg Waser for the specimen of smokey quartz that they sent. The specimen is on LP's mantel in the study. It reminds LP of Jurg's time in Pasadena as a graduate student and of LP and AHP's visit to the Wasers' mother in Zurich. Looking forward to seeing Peter again before long.
