Comment on "Does the hydrated electron occupy a cavity?"

L. D. Jacobson and J. M. Herbert
Science 331, 1387 (2011)

Abstract

Larsen et al. (Reports, 2 July 2010, p. 65) suggest that, contrary to the established paradigm, the aqueous electron does not carve out and occupy a cavity in liquid water. Closer examination of their theoretical model, however, reveals that many of its predictions differ substantively from established benchmarks and that its behavior differs qualitatively from Hartree-Fock theory, upon which the model is based.
