The photolyses of seven phenyl cation precursors in acetonitrile in the presence of anisole resulted in four distinct product patterns. These patterns are due to the chemoselective and regioselective chemistry of various phenyl cation isomers. This spin‐selective chemistry provides a tool with which to fingerprint the singlet/triplet nature of any phenyl cation.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2007)
