Abstract
The dynamics of hydrated electrons at the water/air interface are investigated using time-resolved second-harmonic generation spectroscopy. Initial solvation occurs in ∼1 ps, and the electron remains at the interface for >750 ps. The location of the electron relative to the dividing surface is investigated using surfactants, which show that the electron is hydrated in the interfacial region, below the dividing surface.Keywords
