Abstract

The meaning of the “red limit” potential in photoemission experiments is discussed. For mercury in contact with aqueous electrolytes, the energy of a photoemitted electron at the “red limit” is 0.6 eV higher than the solvation energy of eaq. This difference is attributed to the solvent reorganization energy contribution to the hydration energy of eaq.
