Abstract

Much attention has been focused on alkali metal solutions in the last decade.'We recently examined the kinetics of alkali metal dissolution in THF containing cation-complexing agents (eg, 18-crown-6) and the nature of the active species formed. 2 We found that the concentrations of metal anions and solvated electrons in such solutions depend strongly on the reaction conditions and kinetic parameters. According to this study, solvated electrons ...
