Abstract

Picosecond pulse radiolysis of neat tetrahydrofuran (THF) shows a fast decay of the solvated electron within 2.5ns. The decay of the solvated electron observed at 790nm is because of spur reaction. A numerical simulation using time dependent Smoluchowski equation containing a sink term with a distance dependent reaction rate is used to fit the pulse-probe data and shows that the geminate reaction can proceed at long distance in this low polar solvent.
