Abstract
Femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy of the equilibrated hydrated elect ron has been recorded with 35 Ps resolution, revealing unprecedented t ransient features on the 30-80 fs time scales that have been assigned to inertial solvation dynamics of the hydrated electron. These data al low for a rigorous experimental evaluation of the recently published n onadiabatic quantum molecular dynamics simulations of the adiabatic an d nonadiabatic dynamics of the hydrated electron.
