Determination of the characteristics of solvated electrons from optical absorption data

As difficulties are encountered with model theories in describing the nature of solvated electrons, it is suggested that possible non-model relations in the theory of solvated electrons be used. In the present work the results that follow from the sum rules, virial theorem and threshold formulae of the quantum theory of scattering are examined. In this way it is possible to establish relationships that can be used for determining some of the physical characteristics of solvated electrons directly from optical data.
