27. In ref 13, for example, Berg estimates that the aromatic solvent used in his experiments changes size by 5-6%. A ∼10% size change is estimated for excited benzene in the following: Nowak, R.; Bernstein, E. R. J. Chem. Phys. 1987, 86, 4783. The references therein discuss size changes for other excited species. Of course, species which change oxidation state undergo even larger size changes which can be on the order of 20%; see ref 10.

69. Note that an alternative method to investigate the influence spectrum would be to use the INM formalism, which was applied to water in ref 42. We note, however, that the spectrum of INM's depends strongly on the choice of molecular coordinates used to define translational versus rotational solvent motions. See: Li, W.-X.; Keyes, T.; Murry, R. L.; Fourkas, J. T. J. Chem. Phys. 1998, 109, 9096.
70. Murry, R. L.; Fourkas, J. T.; Li, W.-X.; Keyes, T. J. Phys. Chem., in press. Because of the additional problems inherent in defining rotational and translational projection operators for the flexible model of water used here, we have elected not to use INM's in our analysis.

73. A simple Gaussian '94 calculation of Coumarin 343 is consistent with a 10-15% increase in the radius of the excited state electron density at some locations in the molecule. The shape change is not very spherical (especially given the planar nature of the molecule), but with the similarity in the response functions between the quadrupolar and spherical shape changes seen in Figure 6, use of a spherical shape change in the MD simulations should still capture the essence of the perturbation.
74. The effects of solute polarizability on solvation dynamics have recently been explored. See, e.g.: Kim, H. J. J. Chem. Phys. 1996, 105, 6818.

77. It is worth noting that the situation is different for the solvent response following nonadiabatic relaxation of the hydrated electron. The radiationless transition to the ground state causes the two-lobed electron wave function to collapse into a single lobe in only a few femtoseconds (ref 21), a situation much more akin to the size/shape changes studied here. The way in which dielectric and mechanical solvation couple for this type of solute perturbation and the inherent nonlinearity of the solvent response will be explored in more detail in ref 48.
