Abstract
Pulse radiolytic techniques have been used to measure the solvation of anions and electrons in alcohols. The results have shown the importance of the microscopic liquid structure in the solvation process. The activation energy for benzophenone solvation is equal to the hydrogen-bond energy for the liquids, which shows that the solvent reorganization requires the breaking of the hydrogen bonds between solvent molecules. For electron solvation, primary alcohols have a lower activation energy because the initial hydrogen-bonded structure of the liquid is amenable to solvation. The solvation of an electron in a secondary alcohol requires require hydrogen-bond breakage.
