Box 1663, Los Alamos, N.M.
Dear Dr. Jones:
I was interested to see your note on polarized infrared spectrum of potassium aurous cyanide in the Journal of Chemical Physics. I am writing now, however, to say that I am surprised at your not knowing what has been done in the Gates and Crellin Laboratories of Chemistry in past years. You mention that x-ray examination shows that the substances crystallizes in the rhombohedral system, but you do not say anything about the work carried out by J. L. Hoard in the Gates Laboratory on potassium silver cyanide, Z. fur Kristallographie, 84, 231-255 (1933) - see Struktur Bericht, III, pages 82 and 400. Hoard found that the linear complexes make an angle of about 25° (I have not calculated it out from his parameters, which are precisely given) with the trigonal axis. I judge that this would be compatible with the amount of polarization that you observe for the stretching vibrations.
With best regards, I am
Sincerely yours,
