May 17, 1949
Mr. Arthur Linz, Vice-President
Climax Molybdenum Company
500 Fifth Avenue
New York, New York
Dear Mr. Linz:
In going over my report on "The Structural Chemistry of Molybdenum" for Dr. Killeffer, I notice that the composition of the molybdenum silicides that Climax Molybdenum produces is very close to that of the pure phase MoSi2, and also that the composition of the ferromolybdenum produced by the Company is very close to the pure Σ phase Fe7Mo6. I think that it might be worthwhile to prepare x-ray photographs of these two commercial preparations, just to see how pure they are in these substances.
These two products of the Company were not included in the set of samples that you had sent to me. Do you think that it would be worthwhile to send me samples of them, in order that we might check up on them.
Sincerely yours,
[Linus Pauling]
