• 18. The triplet-excited states of acetophenones are typically 3–5 kcal/mol higher than those of benzo-phenones, cf. ref. [9]. Yet, the acetophenone-like character does not entirely offset the endo-thermicity associated with C–Br cleavage.
• 19. The absorption spectral features of transient intermediates such as ketyl radicals are likewise significantly influenced by substituents, see.

• 22. The aroylaryl radicals are known to exhibit absorption characteristics similar to those of the triplets and ketyl radicals, cf. ref. [4]. The decay of the triplet absorption with concomitant rise of the radical absorption should be possible to be recognized from transient decay kinetics.
