Measurements of the conductivities following electron pulse irradiation of dilute solutions of ethanol, n-propanol, tert-butanol, or dimethyl sulphoxide in n-hexane, cyclohexane, or i-octane are quantitatively consistent with the existence of equilibria between electrons in the hydrocarbon and electrons solvated by dimers of the polar molecules. With dimethylformamide solutions in alkanes the equilibrium could be with the monomeric anion of the solute but this assignment is not unequivocal. Absorption spectra of e s − in n-hexane solutions of ethanol and of tert-butanol have been obtained.
