Electron spin echo modulation studies have been carried out for Ag/sup 0/ in CD/sub 3/OH and CH/sub 3/OD at 4.2/sup 0/K. The data have been analyzed by using ratio analysis and complete simulation. The results indicate that Ag/sup 0/ is surrounded by four methanol molecules with their oxygen ends pointing toward Ag/sup 0/. The average distance between the silver atom and both the hydroxyl and methyl protons is about 3.3 A. There is no observable geometrical change in the solvation shell around Ag/sup 0/ on warming the sample to 77/sup 0/K in contrast with the ice matrix. This is consistent with weaker hydrogen bonding interactions in methanol than in water.
