Abstract
A letter written by Francis Lions to Linus Pauling in 1939 sheds light on the early development of Lions' work in the field of coordination chemistry. Together with the subject matter of some of his relatively early publications, it reveals how he was developing the synthetic strategies that later were applied to the successful design and function of sexadentate chelating agents.
