Various free radicals formed during UV.‐irradiation of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids in aqueous and methanolic solution are identified by ESR.‐spectroscopy. Their structures point to α‐cleavage and photoreduction as the dominant primary photochemical decay processes. The relative contributions of these reactions to the overall photodecomposition depend on solvent and degree of α‐alkylation of the acid. Emission ESR.‐spectra are found for radicals formed by C, CO‐bond cleavage of α‐dimethyl substituted acids. The polarization is referred to the triplet mechanism of CIDEP. and indicates this cleavage reaction occurs from a triplet molecular state.
