Solvated electron yield in the radiolysis of formamide

Some of the thermal electrons formed when a liquid is subjected to high-energy radiations eventually become solvated. These solvated electrons (e⁻solv) are of special chemical interest due to their powerful reducing nature. The mechanism by which solvation occurs is not well understood, but mus...
