We report a pump-probe femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopic study on the electron transfer reaction of CCl(4) in liquid ethanol. By direct observations of the presolvated electron and of the reaction transition state CCl(4) (*-), this study provides direct evidence of the resonant dissociative electron transfer (RDET) of the presolvated electron to CCl(4). Moreover, the lifetime of CCl(4) (*-) in ethanol is directly obtained from the decay kinetics and its measured value is found to be nearly identical to its gas-phase value. Hence, these results also imply that RDET can be an efficient process in an aqueous environment.
