For every large enough integer  k  that is not divisible by 4, we construct infinite families of mutually non‐diffeomorphic reducible smooth structures on the topological 4‐manifolds   2  k  (   S  2   ×   S  2   )   and    2  k  (  ℂ   ℙ  2   #ℂ  ℙ   ¯    2   )   , the connected sums of   2  k   copies of    S  2   ×   S  2    and    ℂ   ℙ  2   #ℂ  ℙ   ¯    2    .
