A three parameter wavefunction for the ground state of the hydrated electron has been used ta calculate the optical transition energy for zero cavity radius within the SCF approximation to the dielectric continuum model. The resuks indicate that the electron is in a cavity with finite radius.
Recently Kakitani and Mataga claimed that the free energy dependence of electron transfer rates in polar solvents could be explained by taking into account the dielectric saturation effect of polar solvents. It is shown that the basic assumption of their model is incorrect. The correct treatment of
Using the model of dielectric continuum and Lorentz's field, we have demonstrated that the polarization of the first coordinated shell of the solvent molecules around a charged solute molecule is weakly saturated. The dielectric saturation effect has also been observed in the calculated result that
