Short‐lived radicals such as (1) can be compelled to undergo unusual reactions if they are generated in the presence of a metal colloid catalyst in aqueous solution. Instead of combining, disprotionating, or dismuting, the radicals (1) participate in a redox process leading to evolution of H 2 , according to the overall equation:
