In contradiction to what has been postulated before, the formation of cationic hydrated Ti III complexes is crucial for the activation of H 2 O towards hydrogen‐atom transfer (HAT). The relevant intermediates have been characterized by modern EPR methods (see spectrum) and cyclic voltammetry. The structural assignments were verified by a comprehensive computational study. The calculated bond dissociation energies are in agreement with a previous kinetic investigation.
