Abstract

Pulse radiolysis studies of solutions of alkali metal methylamides (CH3NHM) in methylamine indicate the formation of solvated electrons, es−, ion-pairs (M+, es−), and alkali metal anions M−. This paper compares the spectra, extinction coefficients, and yields of es−, Li, Na, K, and Cs species, with those observed previously in other solvents. The overall reaction kinetics are complex and, in CH3NHNa/NaI solutions, suggest the formation of a higher aggregate or triple ion species (Na22+, es−). A reaction mechanism, quantitatively consistent with experiment, is presented and discussed in detail for solutions containing Na+.
