Abstract

We evaluated the influence of sensitizers on the reactivity of a thianthrenium salt. Calculating the difference in free energy shows that the decomposition of the salt occurs through electron transfer mechanism. Photopolymerization efficiency was evaluated using real-time RTIR, showing that the sensitization process is effective and that its efficiency is governed by the photoinduced electron transfer reaction.
