Disproportionation/combination ratios P d /P c of self‐reacting t ‐butyl radicals are determined as a function of solvent and temperature. the observed large solvent and temperature dependences are ascribed to anisotropic reorientational motions of the radicals during their encounter in the solvent cage. Results for other alkyl radicals are compatible with this concept.
