The Electron Attachment Energy of the Aqueous Hydroxyl Radical Predicted from the Detachment Energy of the Aqueous Hydroxide Anion.

The article presents a study that investigates on the electron attachment energy level of aqueous hydroxide anion. The study was conducted using experimental data of molecular dynamics simulation wherein vertical attachment energy (VAE) and electron affinity was calculated as well as photoemission threshold and vertical oxidation. The study reveals that finite size error is large and its direct electrostatic interaction level of solute ion reduce the solar solvent rate that affects oxidation.
