Abstract
Solvent-stabilized anions of organic molecules, such as napthalene, pyrimidine, and pyridine, were invesitigated via negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy. In addition to determining the minimum number of solvent molecules needed to form a stable anion, we also determined that the excess charge was in each case located on the organic molecule and not on its solvent. By extrapolation, we determined the electron affinities of bare organic molecules.
