Abstract

The localization and solvation of excess electrons in pure water have been resolved at the femtosecond time scale. Before it becomes solvated, the electron thermalizes and reaches in 110 fs a localized state absorbing in the infrared. This transient species with lifetime 240 fs has been postulated to exist but has not been observed previously in liquid water.
