Radically exciting! The excited‐state dynamics of the 2‐methylallyl radical are studied by time‐resolved photoionization. The radical, which is relevant for combustion processes, is generated by pyrolysis from the corresponding bromide. The lifetime of the electronically excited B state was measured to be 14 ps and shorter.
