The photochemical reaction of bibenzyl 1, its 4,4'-dimethoxy derivative 2 and bicumyl 3 with some aromatic nitriles (leading to alkylation of the nitrile) and tetranitromethane (TNM) (leading to ring trinitromethylation or nitration) involve SET fragmentation of the radical cation (either C-H or C-C bond) and, in the case of TNM, also of the radical anion.
