Keywords: aldehyde; green chemistry; photochemistry; photoinitiation; sustainable chemistry; Introduction Photochemistry, and especially photoredox catalysis have altered the way that modern researchers treat radical species [1][2][3][4]. In most cases, a metal-based photocatalyst is employed

• carried out, indicating that the polymerization of MAA (42) was mainly induced by photoinitiation by the aliphatic ketones 44 or formaldehyde (35), rather than by self-initiation of the monomer. Furthermore, oxygen was shown to strongly inhibit the photopolymerization, and an increase in the UV intensity

The authors proposed that the photoinitiation mechanism for the photopolymerization of aliphatic ketones or aldehydes was similar to the one concerning photografting, and the mechanism is presented in Scheme 12 [42][44]. While the aliphatic ketones 44 did not exhibit photoinitiation

• described in this reference. By their broad absorptions extending from 350 to 450 nm, theses complexes are excellent candidates for photoinitiation in the visible range. Moreover, the reactivity of the chromophores can be tuned by the counter anion, PF6− being less nucleophilic than BF4−. In this context

After fragmentation of the C–I bond, an intramolecular cyclization occurred, and after acidification of the reaction medium, the oxidized phenanthridine compounds were obtained in very good

The rate-determining step in photoinitiation by CQ/amine is hydrogen transfer by the excited n→π* triplet state of the carbonyl group of CQ from the alkylamino group [8][9]. The photochemistry of the low molecular CQ in the polystyrene (PS) film was the
