Abstract
Although the cavity or F-centre model for “trapped” or “solvated” electrons in polar solvents, both fluid and rigid, has gained wide acceptance, it has recently been suggested that a better model is one in which a solvent anion is solvated as such by the medium. Arguments for and against these postulates are considered, and it is concluded that the normal “cavity” model is the most satisfactory of the two alternatives.
