Abstract

The binary interaction between two electrons solvated in ammonia is considered by treating the electrons in the valence bond approximation with dispersion forces added. Solvent--solvent and solvent--electron interactions vary as a function of distance between the solvated electrons. These changes are considered within the continuum approximation along with the electronic interaction. A major result of this study is that the ground (singlet state) is separated from the lowest triplet state by kT at distances of separation as large as 10.5 A. The theoretical treatment is general in that it does not need to be restricted to the valence bond approach or to two electron problems. (auth)
