Abstract
Solvated electron optical absorption spectra in liquid methylamine have been obtained by extrapolating relative absorbance data obtained from dilute lithium solutions to infinite dilution in lithium. These spectra are shown to be identical within experimental error with solvated electron spectra determined by using pulse radiolysis. Also, within experimental uncertainty all of the spectral profiles of solvated electron spectra in methylamine display shape stability. The effective number of solvent molecules which serve to localize the electron in methylamine is determined to be 0.83.
