A study on the photochemically induced electron‐transfer from primary and secondary aliphatic amines as donors to pyridinedicarbonitriles as the acceptor is reported. A comparison between the substitution positions and the spin density distributions, obtained via theoretical calculations using the 6‐31+G basis set, shows some discrepancies, and forms the basis of a hypothesis on the mechanism of the reaction.
