## Abstract Two centuries ago solvated electrons were discovered in liquid ammonia and a century later the concept of the solvent cage was introduced. Here, we report a real time study of the dynamics of sizeβselected clusters, __n__=20 to 60, of electrons in ammonia, and, for comparison, that of e
A hydrodynamic model of electron solvation in polar liquids is suggested. The electron is assumed to be localized within a spherical cavity in an ideal incompressible liquid. The solvation process is modelled by the contraction of the cavity size to its equilibrium value. The contraction dynamics ar
