Abstract
Some recent data are presented on the aggregation of the solvated electron with an alkali metal cation for a specific system, namely lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF). The ion pair (Li$sup +$, e$sup -$/sub sol/ formed in THF exhibits an absorption band with maximum at 1180 nm. The molar extinction coefficient at the maximum is 2.3 x 10$sup 4$ M$sup -1$ cm$sup -1$, which gives an oscillator strength of 0.9 for the band. Absolute rate constants for the reaction of (Li$sup +$, e$sup -$/sub sol/) with anthracene, biphenyl, and dibenzylmercury in THF, at 25$sup 0$C, were found to be 2.65 x 10$sup 10$, 1.00 x 10$sup 10$, and 1.8 x 10$sup 10$ M$sup -1$ sec$sup -1$, respectively.
