“…This work established the basis for recent studies of electron localization in low-energy, halo-type, surface states on He clusters (65) and in interior electron localization in bubbles within helium clusters (65). Studies of solvated electrons in polar liquids extended the large polaron model (10,11) to account for short-range electron-solvent interactions in terms of pseudopotential models (37,38,59,60,62). A similar approach was adopted (57) for electron binding to clusters of polar molecules.…”

Key Words physical chemistry in Israel, radiationless transitions, chemical and biological electron transfer, dynamics of finite systems, structure-dynamics-function relations ■ Abstract This is the story of a young person who grew up in Tel-Aviv during the period of the establishment of the State of Israel and was inspired to become a physical chemist by the cultural environment, by the excellent high-school education, and by having been trained by some outstanding scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and, subsequently, by the intellectual environment and high-quality scientific endeavor at the University of Chicago. Since serving as the first chairman of the Chemistry Department of the newly formed Tel-Aviv University he has been immersed in research, in the training of young scientists, and in intensive and extensive international scientific collaboration. Together with the members of his "scientific family" he has explored the phenomena of energy acquisition, storage and disposal and structure-dynamics-function relations in large molecules, condensed phase, clusters and biomolecules, and is looking forward to many future adventures in physical chemistry.
