Electron solvation in methanol anion clusters, (MeOH)(n)(-) (n similar to 70-460), is studied by photoelectron imaging. Two isomers are observed: methanol I, with vertical binding energies (VBE) ranging from 2-2.5 eV, and methanol II, with much lower VBE's between 0.2 and 0.5 eV. The VBE's of the two isomers depend linearly on n(-1/3) with nearly identical slopes. We propose that the excess electron is internally solvated in methanol I clusters, whereas in methanol II it resides in a dipole-bound surface-state. Evidence of an excited state accessible at 1.55 eV is observed for methanol I. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
