Dear Mr. Wang:
In answer to your letter, I may say that you are right in surmising that I used the constant 0.06 Å in calculating the electronegativity correction for the aluminum-phosphorus bond. The values for the correction discussed on page 229 referred only to the radii given on page 224, but I think it is right to apply it also to similar atoms.
In making the application the value of the factor is determined by the more electropositive atom on the pair. If this more electropositive atom, involved in a bond with an atom not in the first row, is in the same row with silicon, then the factor is 0.06 Å; if in the same row with germanium, it is 0.04 Å, and so on.
Accordingly the factor should be 0.06 Å for aluminum arsenide, rather than 0.04 Å.
I do not have the values of the observed bond lengths for BM (cubic) and BP (cubic). If you could write again, sending me the values, I would tell you how I would discuss them.
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
