Direct measurement of vertical binding energy of a hydrated electron

Abstract

We present the first measurement of the vertical binding energy (VBE) of a hydrated electron in bulk water by the time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (TRPES) of the charge-transfer-to-solvent (CTTS) reaction in aqueous NaI solution. Our best estimate of VBE is 3.27 ± 0.10 eV for H2O and 3.20 ± 0.10 eV for D2O.
